🏈 It was on this day Jan 3rd, 2007 we were introduced to our new head coach Nick Saban.

Not to be an ass, but:

"Nick Saban, 55 at time, was officially announced as Alabama's head football coach at a press conference Thursday January 4, 2007. "

Man, I remember that press conference and how excited I was. None of us had an idea of the level of success that was about to happen.

Be honest. Did any of you expect him to come to Alabama in 2007?

I think many of us were content with hiring someone like Rodriguez or Petrino.

It was one of if not the greatest day in the history of the program. Really only one other day could be in the conversation. Thank you Mr. Mal Moore.

Nick about to restart the band with some new members...……...

The Boz...………Actually I’ll tell you the rumors Golding leaves. Bo and Tosh comeback and Ansley as the DC.

That would mean Baker would be out as DL along with Pete and one more defensive back coach.

I was one, but then again I didn't think Bama would hire someone that never beat the barner either. Then he left for Kentucky.

Bill Curry always striked me as the type of coach that had the wisdom and integrity of a legendary coach like Vince Lombardi or Bo Schembechler but with the on the field results of Tommy Tuberville.
