Here's the original Saban comments BTW which are apparently a couple of years old:
I mean, it isn't much of a discussion of Locksley vs. Riley when it comes to who is the better coach.
Though I love the notion that Saban was begging Locksley to stay on at Alabama for the CFP rather than come here and start the job right away. After all, it was the pursuit of the National Championship that was really supposed to make the Master Recruiter and even bigger master of recruiting.
