Nick Saban returned to Tuscaloosa as “College GameDay” came to town ahead of Alabama’s Week 6 game against Vanderbilt on Saturday. During the show, former NFL coach Bill Belichick, now at the helm of North Carolina, talked about the four seasons he and Saban coached together with the Cleveland Browns in the early 1990s.

“I learned an awful lot from Coach Saban,” Belichick said. “You know, we came from different defensive systems, and we merged them together at Cleveland.”

He added that Saban taught him about man-to-man coverage and the 4-3 defense.

“It's a great experience, watching Nick handle the free agents and recruit and build a program at Alabama,” Belichick said. “I'm very grateful for the relationship that I have with him and all the things that I've learned from him. He's, you know, he's the best that's ever done it.

"And, like I said, it's a real honor for me to just be with him for, you know, those four years and have our relationship and friendship that'd be almost lifelong in this career.”

To this, Saban replied:

“Yeah, well, I never thought, and all the time we've been friends, that I'd ever say that you're full of s**t, but I learned a lot more from you than you ever learned from me.”
