Broncos CB Pat Surtain talks Nick Saban and more on Johnny Manziel's podcast
Nick Saban is perhaps the greatest college football coach of his era and, next to current University of North Carolina head coach Bill Belichick, one of the greatest football coaches ever. But before he became the master of the sidelines, he was a defensive back coach by trade: coaching defensive backs from 1978-1989 at the likes of Ohio State, Navy & Michigan State. So it is no surprise that he routinely kept his hands and eyes on the defensive backs while at Alabama. Denver Broncos cornerback and reigning Defensive Player of the Year Pat Surtain is a product of Nick Saban's legendary reign at Alabama, and while sitting down with college football legend Johnny Manziel, PS2 spoke on what it was like for Saban to spend time coaching defensive backs at the college level. Surtain told stories about how Saban held his players accountable, from the meeting room to the practice field, what it was like to play against future pros in practice (Devonta Smith), and how they made it easier to play against SEC competition. Listen to that and more in the interview below. This article originally appeared on Broncos Wire: NFL: Pat Surtain talks Nick Saban and more on Johnny Manziel's podcast

Prayers Pouring In After Football Coach Dies In Murder-Suicide

Prayers are pouring in after a beloved football coach was found dead in an apparent murder suicide at 51 years old.

One was pronounced dead at the scene and the other died at UC Medical Center. A family member told police Bravard shot Wayne Hall before turning the gun on himself. It's unclear exactly what led up to the apparent murder-suicide, but a family member told Fort Thomas police, 'Bravard always held animosity towards his stepfather, Hall, and had threatened to kill him in the past,' according to the police report. Hall, a former college football player, was beloved by the community. He was a coach for two decades and the school even named an offensive lineman award after him.
