Nick Saban Claims He Was Forced to Get an Email Address Thanks to the Coronavirus Pandemic
By Michael Luciano
One of the hallmarks of the Bill Belichick coaching tree is the fact that the best adherents to the Belichick way continue to dominate year in and year out while remaining almost painfully old fashioned in their methods. From Belichick not using social media like "InstaFace" to Alabama Crimson Tide head coach Nick Saban not even using e-mail, it seems to be working, as the pair have combined for 12 championships at the pro and collegiate levels.
The coronavirus pandemic, however, has forced Saban to finally cave in and get an e-mail address, as his wife Terry was simply tired of answering e-mails meant for him.
Nick Saban, in an Instagram Live interview with Maria Taylor, said the one positive of the COVID-19 pandemic is he has an email now.

"They were sending them all to Miss Terry, aight. She fired me and said, 'I'm not dealing with your stuff anymore,' so I had to do it on my own."
Once again, Saban has acquiesced to the demands of the imposing presence known as Miss Terry.
Those not connected to Alabama are generally not aware of the power Miss Terry holds in that program, as she can make the greatest coach in college football history run on a treadmill for 20 minutes whenever she wants.

Saban was managing to get the best recruits in the country and win the SEC every year without even using technology. Clearly, this opens a whole new realm of possibilities for the Tide.
