I didn’t even try to call today Gump Day — in your heart, know it to be true. But Coach Nick Saban’s fiery press conference at the conclusion of the Tide’s practice yesterday was not one that engendered much confidence in any of the quarterbacks vying for the vacant starting role.

Yes, Saban ultimately has to make a choice alongside offensive coordinator Tommy Rees.
