A coaching search where nobody got spurned, everyone got paid, and all parties wound up exactly where they wanted to be all along? How nice. That’s the semi-official account—from ESPN and many of the people most closely involved—of what happened at Alabama. Alex, Richard, and Godfrey discuss how media, agents, and administrators collaborated to pitch a sunny description of one of the biggest college football coaching hunts in years—and how it fits into the usual way of doing business in this industry. Production: Anthony Vito.
