It was a good weekend for a pair of former Browns coaches.
On Saturday, former Cleveland defensive coordinator Nick Saban led Alabama to its fourth-straight College Football Playoff appearance in a win over Georgia. And on Sunday, Bill Belichick—who coached the Browns from 1991-95—snagged a victory of his own, leading the Patriots to a 24-10 win over the Vikings.
Belichick was asked about Saban's SEC title game victory on Monday, and he didn't hesitate to offer praise of his ex-assistant.
"There's nobody I have more respect for in football than Nick Saban—period," Belichick told reporters during a conference call.
