JD Crowe: Nick ‘Yoda’ Saban passes the torch to Kalen DeBoer
This is an opinion cartoon
If you’re gonna replace the Grand Master GOAT, you better learn from the Grand Master GOAT.
Nick Saban is to college football what Yoda is to the Star Wars universe – the oldest, most stoic and powerful Grand Master Jedi. With Saban making himself available during the transition – and beyond – the new coach, Kalen DeBoer, has an enormous opportunity to learn the ways of the Force, or in this case, the Process.
May the Process be with you.
