"Part of it was being able to learn from a bunch of NFL coaches," "I feel like if I went into the draft this year, I might not have gone where I wanted to. Knowing that Coach (Nick) Saban was going to bring in some really reliable guys with some good experience, I felt like it would be just as good as going to the next level because I can get that same tutoring and get those same lessons"

Mike Locksley said
(
about Nick Saban
)
:
“When you hire good coaches, you’re going to lose good coaches, and we’ve done just that,” “But the thing that I’ve learned and what’s great about having the opportunity to be behind the wall there [at Alabama] with Coach [Nick] Saban is that the philosophy never changed of what we did on offense. You could add to it, you can bring in some new things and wrinkles in it, but who we are on offense, defense and special teams has not and will not change under my tenure. Will it improve? Of course. We’re going to always work to self-scout and study what we do and make it better”
