I've seen Coach Saban over the years have to make a lot of tough decisions, and there's not one decision he doesn't make that he doesn't bounce ideas off the staff. To me, that's invaluable.
I'm not going to apologize for having a great team and a great program and a bunch of committed guys, and Coach Saban is not, either.
It's never me against Saban, and I have too much respect for him to say that anyway. I never felt that way.
I'm very grateful to Coach Saban.
I don't know how Coach Saban found me all the way in Hawaii from Alabama.
Our personalities are the not the same, Coach Saban and I. And I have the utmost respect for what he's done and what he's done for me and my family.
To be able to go through what I've gone through and still be fortunate before the age of 40 to still be here to be offensive coordinator with Coach Saban at Alabama, you take some time to reflect on that.
That's what you don't see about coach Saban. He's a very funny guy.
I should have been paying Coach Saban instead of them paying me because of the amount of knowledge that you learn in three years, and you view 'The Process.'
A lot of people have said, 'Why not take a smaller school head job?' I honestly feel my growth was better being in a large program, being around Coach Saban, and learning how to manage a lot of the tough situations you deal with in the media.
Coach Saban and I have a great relationship, regardless of what people may think.
