<P style=&#34;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&#34; class=MsoNormal>When coach Nick Saban arrived in <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = &#34;urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags&#34; /><st1:City w:st=&#34;on&#34;><st1:place w:st=&#34;on&#34;>Tuscaloosa</st1:place></st1:City> in 2007, he boldly proclaimed &#8220;We want to be a champion in everything that we do.&#8221; Since that time, <st1:State w:st=&#34;on&#34;><st1:place w:st=&#34;on&#34;>Alabama</st1:place></st1:State> has won three national championships and become the nation&#8217;s number one destination for recruits and the top source of NFL talent while simultaneously graduating its players. No other program has won more games, captured more awards, or come close to approaching the kind of consistent success as the Crimson Tide. In <I>Nick Saban vs. College Football</I>, author Christopher Walsh not only explains what separates Saban from his peers and compares his accomplishments to some of the all-time legends, but tells why, if there were a Mount Rushmore of college football coaches, Saban&#8217;s face would already be on it. From his upbringing in West Virginia to his relationship with legendary coach Bill Belichick, &#8220;the process&#8221; has not only led to Saban having a statue along Alabama&#8217;s &#8220;Walk of Champions&#8221; in front of Bryant-Denny Stadium, but the establishment of a new standard that may be unparalleled in college football history.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = &#34;urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office&#34; /><o:p></o:p>
