Released 32 yrs ago. Probably written 35 yrs ago.
And it was somewhat forgotten until pretty recently. Nolte was electric in this scene.

Absolutely loved that movie.

Great nostalgia but they’ve been buying players since the 19th century. It didn’t all of a sudden begin in 1994.

Happy was right.

It’s pretty amazing how in high regard Saban is held in coaching circles and by everyone for that matter, that very well could have been him on that stage instead of Nolte

that was kind of the point of the movie. Nolte was holding onto principles that no one else had and, when he let go of them to win, he didn't want to coach anymore or be a part of it

Cousy kept making those shots. Nolte kept feeding him the ball and he just kept draining them from the line. Ten in a row. Nolte never broke. “Don’t you ever miss?” Then that fricking legend buried one lefty.

Saban missed his nolte opportunity to go out in a blaze of glory

Except Saban never would have ever admitted it, then retired, thus burning his legacy.
Hell, he basically had Shane Gillis, the biggest comedian in America and a gigantic CFB fan (absolute goldmine for Gameday) banished from the network after he called him out live on air for his blatant cheating and made fun of his attire. Saban even admitted it. He only cared about 3 things at Alabama.
"acquiring players"
More resources than anyone else to staff
And no bullshite Big Al booster clubs.
And he hated the NFL becsuese the ruled made everything fair to everyone

“There goes Happy, heading for the cash machine! Oh yeah, he's gonna get himself another linebacker!”
Absolutely love that line.

I like the scene where they go through the swamp to get to Algiers, La to see Neon Boudreaux

Early 1900's CFB says "Hold my beer."
Adjusted for inflation of course.

The Carnegie Report on college sports (primarily football) was released in 1929, and that stuff had been going on for long before it was published.
