Mel Tucker used to drive Nick Saban around. This was 23 years ago, when Saban was the head football coach at Michigan State and Tucker was a first-year graduate assistant. He would marvel at how Saban, sitting next to him, could wedge a briefcase beneath his feet, lift a coffee cup to his mouth and keep a phone to his ear. When he wanted Tucker to go faster, he would bite on the cup, hold it in place, and with his one free hand, wave to change lanes.
Tucker has been hitting turn signals ever since.
