Saban is a very, very odd little man. Great coach, but quite the oddball.

Saban won't let anyone leave practice without a shower, him included. Before Saban showers, he has an assistant coach run the water for him. Saban doesn't touch anything.

Saban also doesn't let his players touch ice water buckets. In other words, they don't risk injury by reaching into the gatorade coolers for a cold bottle. An athletic trainer must dip their hands in to get a bottle and hand it to the player.

His assistant, Kirby Smart was invited to play golf at Augusta during the dead period. One day trip - fly there, play golf, fly back all on the same day. When He told Saban he was going, Saban replied "Well, it looks like you have a decision to make. Do you want to be a golfer or a football coach".

Well, everybody remembers how insanely anal retentive John Wooden was, right? Sometimes it's not enough to have the intelligence and vision to lead, but also the mental defects and illness required to lead with an iron fist of craziness.

Satan seems to have no respect for the offers or athletes and the 85 scholarship limit. He now must find 11 cap spaces to sign all their commitable offers assuming the 8 seniors and 4 juniors terminate their relationship with Bama in 2011.

From oversigning.com Dec. 16, 2010. in the Satan school of mathematics.

Alabama landed verbal committment #20 picking up former University of Tennessee and All-SEC OL Aaron Douglas on waivers from JUCO today. That makes 20 verbal commitments plus the 2 kids that were greyshirted last year and assured of spots in this year's recruiting class.
Anyone care to explain where all the scholarships are going to come from given that Alabama has a senior class of roughly 8 scholarship players and are looking at a max of 4 juniors jumping to the league early?

I think you already have your answer, the math adds up (at least it apparently does at a high quality institution like Bama)

He seemed normal the couple times I met him when he was recruiting me at MSU.
