TREVOR MOAWAD WAS always on the periphery. He wasn't a coach, wasn't on staff, wasn't on campus every day of every season. But he was around -- leading training exercises during the summer, on the phone to help coaches with messaging during inflection points in the season, on the sideline for pivotal games to offer encouragement or a quick word of advice. For years, he whispered in the ear of perhaps the greatest college football coach of all time, Alabama's Nick Saban, and he wound up doing the same for many of Saban's former assistants who would go on to lead top-25 programs and College Football Playoff contenders.
