A transcript of the proceedings might read like an FBI case file. Helicopters swarming. Reporters emerging from shadowy streets. Intermediaries. Rumored meetings. Faux search committees.

Well the greatest story I have ever read I believe. Coach Moore knew what he wanted and he went and got it. It filled all our hearts with championships and pleasure. Gosh Coach Moore wherever you are thanks! RTR!

Fantastic read!!!

For all the people who thought Saban lied when he said he wasn't going to be the coach at Alabama; he did not. He had already made the decision to stay at Miami. Mal, at the 11th hour, talked him into taking the Alabama job.

And I loved this:

Quote
Saban wrote in Crimson Heart. “I saw him before the dinner, and he had tears in his eyes and he thanked me for changing his life. I told Mal that he had it wrong. Mal Moore had changed my life

I got the book Crimson Heart for Christmas. Finebaum interviewed Mal's daughter Heather recently on his show and she talked about the autobiography. I told my wife to drop a hint to the kids I wanted it. I have not started reading it yet. I have a long flight coming up on Tuesday and I have been saving it to read on the plane.

Looking at the handful of pictures in the middle of the book Mal said hiring Saban was  one of the greatest moments of his career, and he had a great career.
