On Tuesday, ESPN's Mark Schlabach profiled Jimmy Sexton, the agent who has become one of the most powerful people in college football.
Much of Sexton's influence in college football can be traced to when Nick Saban hired him to negotiate his contract when he left Michigan State for LSU after the 1999 season.
Sexton also worked Saban's deal in 2004, when he left LSU to coach the Miami Dolphins.
But two years later, Sexton helped make history, playing a key role in helping Alabama athletic director Mal Moore lure Saban back to college football.
