I went to the University of Alabama to become a man. When he was recruiting me, Coach Saban gave me his word that when I left, I would leave a grown man with a degree.

He kept his word.

Coach Saban was like a father figure to me. Words can’t explain how much he has taught me about life and how much better prepared I am for success than when I showed up in Tuscaloosa. Whenever I was wrong, he would let me know "Blake, that’s not the way that a man acts. That’s not how a professional quarterback acts." Our relationship could not be stronger.

Short, great read!

Great first-hand account of the type of man Coach Saban truly is too.  Really happy for Blake to have finished what he started.

He thanked Kiffin for teaching him "how to be a quarterback" and called Crimson Tide fans the "best fanbase in the country." ...

I expect no less from BH6.  I would love to see him do well in the NFL.  I think all of us have learned not to count him out, regardless of what the "experts" say.
