“It’s all business for him. I don't care if he's at LSU, the Miami Dolphins or Alabama, he's not going to change. It's just business. It's about winning games and that's what he does. He gets up every morning and goes to bed thinking about it. Right after we won the national championship in 2003, I heard he had the coaches get together the next morning to do recruiting meetings. It’s about winning and it’s that kind of drive that has made him successful and will continue to make him successful in the future.”
