Ryan Fowler took a trip down memory lane this past Wednesday on The Game. He hosted ESPN's Chris Low and TiderInsider's Rodney Orr and asked them to take the listener's back to Mal Moore's decision to hire Nick Saban.

Low, fresh off publishing his article on the subject on ESPN.com, gave his insight on the step-by-step of the decision making process behind Moore hiring Saban. Low spoke about how difficult the decision was for then West Virginia coach Rich Rodriguez. Rodriguez had been offered the job in Tuscaloosa but ultimately decided to stay in Morgantown.

Fowler followed up his interview with Low by welcoming on Mr. TiderInsider, Rodney Orr. Orr has been covering Alabama football since 1996 and is well connected to the Crimson Tide program. Mr. TiderInsider gave his perspective on how the coaching change transpired. He told Fowler and his listeners about the role he played in communicating with sources and the athletic department that Saban was interested in the Alabama job.
