Nick Saban's thoughts on Belichick stepping back into coaching · The Craig Way Show

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: There were a couple of things when we get to
• 0:01
  Speaker 1: a college football note and high school footballcause the playoffs underway.
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: First college football, You've heard a lot of things about
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: Bill Belichick. What different people have thought about Bill Belichick returning?
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: What was it? We ran the sound bite yesterday from
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: Rich Eisen from his show with Sark Sark. The word
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: Sark used was fascinated. I'm fascinated by this. How does
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: Nick Saban feel about it? He was asked about Bill
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: Belichick returning.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, coach after West Virginia hire and Rich Rout, the
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: second biggest hiring is definitely Bill Belichick down in UNC.
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: What do you think about that whole plan for UNC?
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: I don't know saw the Bill Belichick contract and things
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: of that nature, but there's escalators and stuff like that,
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: and there's an out possibly. Why did you think he
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: went to UNC? And you see other guys from the
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: NFL maybe making the jump to college because it is
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: much more like the pro game.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: Well, I look, I'm happy for Bill. I think he
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: probably wanted a new challenge and this is certainly going
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: to be a great challenge for him. North Carolina is
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: a great academic institution as well as They've got plenty
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: of you know, athletic tradition there in basketball, football, and
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: Bill's a great coach. And I think the biggest difference,
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: and I coached both. You know, I coached in the
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: NFL as a coordinator, as an assistant, as a head coach,
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: and I coached in college and all three of those
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: responsibilities as well, is coaching the players is really not
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: that different. You know, people always say, well, that's really
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: hard to coach them guys in the NFL. I never
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: thought that was a problem. You know, if you're a
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: good coach and you create value for those guys, they
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: love you because you're going to extend their career, they're
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: going to make more money, and they're happy. The difference
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: in college is how do you bring guys to the team.
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: You know, it's different than drafting guys than it is
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: to have to recruit them, because recruiting is like a
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: full time relationship building three hundred and sixty five days
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: a year in terms of not only evaluating the players
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: that you want, but creating the relationships with them to
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: get them. Now, everybody says it's like the NFL because
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: they're making money now, but it really still takes you
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: to be able to sell them that you're going to
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: develop them, and I think Bill will be able to
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: do that. But I think the biggest thing that will
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: be a challenge for him is the time that you
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: have to spend recruiting, making phone calls, talking to parents
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: and all those types of things to get the kind
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: of players that you need. You know, having the resources
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: is important to be able to pay them, and I'm
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: glad that the players get paid. I'm not crazy about
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: the system that they're getting paid in, but I hope
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: we can get that fixed. But I do think this
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: guy's going to Bill do a great job there of
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: getting good players, and he'll do a great job of
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: developing those players. The biggest adjustment for him will be
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: the time spent recruiting.
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: Okay, coach on that note, I think there's a lot
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: of people, I mean, maybe myself included, and I have
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: not been in your position or in the college football
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: world long enough to think like this, but like people
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: see what happened with coach Prime, or coach Prime's not
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: taking as many in house visits. He kind of does
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: everything very FaceTime or zoom, and then he's able to
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: land obviously, because he's coach Prime and everybody has faith
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: and trust that he's going to be able to get
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: the bulls to become successful men.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, So there it is. That was Pat
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: mcaveee asking that they were in West Virginia for the
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: rich Rod hiring as well. Of course Nick Saban from
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: the state of West Virginia and Pat mcavee make no
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: bones about as well, so they were both there doing it.
• 3:39
  Speaker 5: So yeah. Interesting the mcapee, mcmgapee. Did McAfee play for
• 3:43
  Speaker 5: rich Rod or is he after rich Rod? Uh?
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: He might have played for him or might have preceded him,
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: now that I'll think about it.
• 3:55
  Speaker 5: See, he was in West Virginia, Yeah, five to eight,
• 3:57
  Speaker 5: so he was right there on the riche. So that's
• 3:59
  Speaker 5: why he's sot this rich Rod higher. Okay, all right,
• 4:02
  Speaker 5: outside of probably being a nil donor for a.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: West Yeah, I'm sure he's that. I'm I'm sure he
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: is being able to you know, has the means clearly
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: in his donating on that. I did want to bring
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: everybody up to Pete on what's going on with the
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: Texas high school football payoffs. This is final four weekend,
• 4:22

• 4:34
  Speaker 1: Division one, duncan Villa, the defending state champ, two time
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: defending state champ, playing North Crowley. That's gonna be a
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: really good game tomorrow, a lot of people think North
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: Crowley might knock him off. That's at Eagles Stadium and
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: Allen at three o'clock. The winner of that gets the
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: winner of the matchup tomorrow and Katie between west Lake
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: and north Shore and I'll be joined by Greg Tepper
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: for the call of that tomorrow afternoon on FanDuel Sports
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: Network Southwest. He said, what network does that? Remember? Balley's

  Speaker 1: weather is going to clear out and be okay by

  Speaker 1: the time they get the Saturday night, which would be
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: a good thing for Vandergriff. They're gonna have their hands

• 5:42
  Speaker 1: likes Summer Creek by ten points on that like North
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: Shore by nine over Westlake they like. The computer likes
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: North Crowley by two over Duncanville and likes South Lake
