Rachel: i got the information and read the next article. 90 seconds, the university of alabama has hired washington s kaelin to replace nick sabin, 72 years old, football legend, greatest of all time retired this week. pete: i saw you post something on social media about this incoming coach, with washington. and easy dynamic. you have to be a hard-core college football fan to understand these dynamics. i did see the video of him arriving in tuscaloosa hi5ing the fans in their seemed enthusiastic about it.
the thing that s fascinating about the stories three years ago, kaelin was the head coach of fresno state and he made his coaching resume in nia. i m rewinding the clock a little bit. in 2,020 he was head coach, 3-3, shortened covid season. imagine sitting down at the end of 2020, just went 500, and within 3 years you will be coaching the alabama crimson tide and the man believing it and probably did believe in it. that is a short time for a massive leap but it s a cool human interest story to go from that to probably the premier coaching job in the country. pete: he had a good record and moved to washington with gangbusters season, probably benefited. if you are good recruit you can bring in tons of players and have a great season, clearly good at that. rachel: you think this is a good move?
