SEC Network Personality Paul Finebaum joins the shows on the Farm Bureau guest line talking about the career of Nick Saban at Alabama live in the BankPlus Studio. Paul talks about Nick Saban leaving Miami to go to Alabama and how his ratings for his show sky rocketed after the move. Paul looks back at how Saban ended up in Tuscaloosa and how Steve Spurrier was in the mix for the Alabama job. Tom talks about how close Steve Spurrier was to getting the LSU head coaching job if he had just waited before taking the South Carolina job. Bo asks Paul if he knew about Nick Saban retiring before it happened and he mentions that he knew indirectly. Paul tells about the information he got form an assistant coach and how Nick Saban acted complete after beating Kirby Smart and Georgia in the SEC Championship. Paul mentions how Nick Saban was honest with himself and couldn't handle not being at the top. Bo asks Paul about starting his career and they talk about the game for Bear Bryant losing to Mississippi State in Jackson in the 1980's. Paul thinks Kalen Deboer has what it takes to take after Nick Saban partly because he doesn't have a big ego. Paul talks about how different it will be without Nick Saban not just as a coach but a personality as well.
