Bob Stoops took to the air again last week. EL PASO, Texas — Been trying to figure out all week why Bob Stoops made another trip to Tuscaloosa last Wednesday, following up on his visit just before two-a-days.
Alabama coach Nick Saban confirmed it to reporters on Tuesday.
"During this time, we've had numerous coaches from a lot of different places come to practice," Saban was quoted in the Mobile Press Register. "When we got together in the summer, he said that he wanted to come to practice some time. They got here right before practice. They watched the practice organization. They watched practice, and they left.
"We didn't get a chance to spend a lot of time or talk much. We had a Christmas party right after that for the staff here. ... They wanted to watch practice organization, and they did that."
I'll try to remember to ask Stoops about his trip at tomorrow morning's pre-Sun Bowl press conference.
