Summary
Steve Sarkisian discussed what lessons he learned while under Nick Saban and which traits he admired most from the Alabama head coach. That gave Andy and Ari the idea to play a game, which Saban disciples have learned from the man the best have been able to apply his wisdom most effectively? The guys examine and chat about Sark, Billy Napier, Kirby Smart, and more. The duo then share their thoughts on Brian Kelly and a reporter taking jabs at each other. From Andy and Ari's experience, is a coach-reporter exchange like that all right? Plus, is the Big 12 looking out west?
