When coach Nick Saban arrived in Tuscaloosa in 2007, he boldly
proclaimed "We want to be a champion in everything that we do." Since
that time, Alabama has won three national championships and become the
nation's number one destination for recruits and the top source of NFL
talent while simultaneously graduating its players. No other program has
won more games, captured more awards, or come close to approaching the
kind of consistent success as the Crimson Tide. In Nick Saban vs.
College Football, author Christopher Walsh not only explains what
separates Saban from his peers and compares his accomplishments to some
of the all-time legends, but tells why, if there were a Mount Rushmore
of college football coaches, Saban's face would already be on it. From
his upbringing in West Virginia to his relationship with legendary coach
Bill Belichick, "the process" has not only led to Saban having a statue
along Alabama's "Walk of Champions" in front of Bryant-Denny Stadium,
but the establishment of a new standard that may be unparalleled in
college football history.
