<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Alabama has won 5 national titles in 9 seasons. Fans want to know, "How does Alabama do it?"<b> <p/>With a Preface by Alabama Football Coach Nick Saban and a Foreword by ESPN's <i>College Gameday </i>Host Rece Davis.</b> <p/> Phil Savage first worked with Nick Saban when they both joined the Cleveland Browns' coaching staff in 1991. They were reunited in 2009 when Savage became part of the Crimson Tide Sports Network as the radio color analyst. Since then, Savage has enjoyed an up-close view of the Alabama program's dedication to recruiting, its commitment to practice, and devotion to fundamentals. <p/> Now comes his 360-degree perspective on Alabama football and Coach Nick Saban's unique coaching style, a style that has led the Crimson Tide to five Southeastern Conference titles, three consecutive College Football Playoff appearances and four national championships. <p/> Savage details Coach Saban's year-round preparation, his willingness to adjust and his belief in "complimentary football." The book offers a close look at their player development and practice habits and gives a glimpse of the Crimson Tide's approach of playing every single down like it's 4th and goal. <p/> You won't find another person who can intelligently discuss Alabama football in public better than Phil Savage. Together with Ray Glier, this in-depth story chronicles how the Crimson Tide re-emerged as one of the true superpowers in college football.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>I am positive that this book will give football fans everywhere a unique perspective on our program, but even more, a true picture of what makes Alabama football so special. -- from the Preface by Coach Nick Saban <p/>When I heard the title, <i>4th and Goal Every Day</i>, my reaction was, 'that's perfect'.
