Nick Saban spoke during the NFL Draft on his biggest recruiting Sports Corso has made 430 mascot headgear selections, sporting a 286-144 record. He's chosen the Ohio State Buckeyes 45 times and Alabama 38. A bulk of the latter came during Nick Saban's time in charge of the program.

"I know there's been a lot of stuff out there about some commission or whatever," Saban said Tuesday. "I don't think we need a commission. I've said that before. I think we need -- we know what the issues are, we just have to have people who are willing to move those and solve those and create some solutions for some of those issues. "I'm all for being a consultant to anybody who would think that my experience would be beneficial to helping create some of those solutions."
