Rolando McClain Article

Saban will watch the drill with his arms crossed. McClain will watch the drill with his arms crossed.

When McClain, consciously or not, adopts Saban's posture, it is physical confirmation of what everyone within Alabama football already understands. Ro McClain is Nick Saban writ large -- and fast and explosive. "Coach on the field" may be a cliché. With McClain, it fits. He may have a football-hot body but McClain is loved by his coaches and his teammates for his mind.

McClain had me at Hello

“I’ve never coached but two like that,” Steele said. “One of them was Sam Mills, who played 12 years in the NFL and was All-Pro several times. And Rolando.”

Holy Crap.

That article makes him out like he can walk on water. If most of it’s true, I can understand some of the man-love for him.

Still going to remain open-minded regarding what’s going to happen in the draft. I’m not anywhere near knowledgable regarding college football to wager a guess, and with Pioli at the helm I honestly thing it’s pretty foolhardy to do so anyway. No telling what will happen.
