Nick Saban to Jimmy Sexton , "You ruined my life"

MEMPHIS - Jimmy Sexton is telling a story. It's about the time he ruined Nick Saban's life.
It was Sexton who urged Saban to leave Michigan State for LSU after the 1999 season because, hey, that's what agents do. But in the first month of Saban's first season in Baton Rouge, LSU lost its homecoming game to UAB to fall to 2-2.
The next week, the day before Tennessee arrived for another potential beatdown, Sexton met with his client in Saban's office. And braced himself.
``He told me that I'd ruined his life," Sexton recalled. ``That it was the worst thing he'd ever done. He looked at me and said, `I don't know if you can win here.'"
Next day, unranked LSU beat No. 11 Tennessee in overtime.
``Of course," Sexton said, ``the rest is history."
Telling the story today, Saban having won a national title at LSU, Sexton laughs out loud.
He and his clients tend to do that.
All the way to the vault.

That is the opening paragraph of a great story running in The Birmingham News on SEC Super Agent Jimmy Sexton. er represents a ton of players but his representation of College coaches is what gets him the attention. He represents 5 of the biggies here in the SEC. Anyway great article about the man all the fans talk about. Tuberville from Auburn is quoted a lot.
