Video: Nick Saban arrives in helicopter for visit with QB commit Mac Jones
It’s safe to assume there aren’t enough hours in the day for Nick Saban’s liking. Fortunately, the Alabama head coach knows how to speed up his travel process.
For their in-home visit with 4-star quarterback commit Mac Jones, Saban and offensive line coach Brent Key showed up in a helicopter. This has become a trend among SEC coaches in recent years, but it still is an effective means of impressing a recruit.
