Show Notes
Lane Kiffin and Nick Saban's relationship is back in the headlines this week thanks, in part, to revelations from an explosive new book about college football: "The Price: What It Takes to Win in College Football's Era of Chaos." This week on Beat Everyone, AL.com's Ben Flanagan and Michael Casagrande are joined by 247 Sports' John Talty, who co-authored the new book with Armen Keteyian.
Talty shares why the Kiffin and Saban tenure was so volatile, what their relationship is like today, how seriously we should take Kiffin's internet persona and the reasons why Lane Kiffin couldn't get his name in the mix to replace Nick Saban.
Then, after the break, Ben, Michael and John draft their favorite moments, players and games from the Saban-Kiffin era. What are your favorite memories from those seasons? Let us know in the comments.
