HR case so heartbreaking. The death of the mother and child is heartbreaking but what happened to HR is also. I honestly think I've done 1 or 2 different things crazier and more irresponsible than he did that night but managed not to hurt anyone. I know I'm not a bad person and I know I'd never intentionally hurt a mother and her child and it's hard for me to say why I did those things. I feel like HR was being extremely stupid that night.
Be grateful that you’re witnessing history im not an Alabama fan myself but I cant hate them i love greatness especially at the level Alabama has done it man after Saban retires we’ll probably never see another dynasty like this again
I've stopped a friend from driving drunk, sure he got mad at me that night, but he was alive to be mad at me that night. When he sobered up he realized I was just being a friend and apologized.
Na u more than a friend u saved that man life he knows it too ..y’all are family “friends” come and go ..hence the word “end” in friend as a man I wanna be around brothers fuk friends
@@mansamusa7927 The meaning of the term "friend" can vary depending on one's personal definition. According to my own definition, a friend is someone who must meet certain criteria. Like stopping someone from drinking and driving. Anyone who falls short of these criteria cannot be considered a true friend. An acquaintance or buddy, for instance, is not the same as a friend by my definition. In fact, a friend is someone who is even more important than family because while you can't choose your family, you can choose your friends.
Yeah but this one hurt because he was one of Sabans too hopefuls and examples of what success looks like but of course the insident happened and now players career is done son Saban is a players coach he looks at what could have been if that accident didn’t happen it hit more because Saban was his mentor as well as coach
The sport will miss him, however Nick Saban now has an even larger audience. This is a man's man, a wonderful husband and father. He stopped alcohol consumption when he started his family. This is who young men should emulate, follow and listen to and learn from. Pay attention to this guy. He has so much to offer....
In fairness we don’t know if Saban brings him up in every meeting or this was the first. My point is just because we don’t hear anyone talking about rugged doesn’t mean that people aren’t
Yes his friends & the establishment allowed him to continue to drink when they knew how drunk he was. That said Ruggs bears responsibility for his actions; we all know driving while intoxicated is wrong. Yet like Pete Golding it continues. Sometimes we have to step up for ourselves. Taking the keys away from someone when you know they are drunk as well as taking responsibility for yourself is important Either way my heart bleeds for the family of Tina Tinter. My heart however also bleeds for Henry Ruggs. He is one of ours. I lost my sister in 1982 due a head on collision due to a drunk driver crossing a median. Sad that 40 years later people think it's okay. It's not
It’s not always that people think it’s okay . A lot of people when they drink black out and don’t know what they’re doing or have no thought process. His friends 100% should have been by his side the whole time and made sure everything was okay. I know not a single one of my buddies would let me in my car with a sip of alcohol in my system. So sad , sad world we live in. Prayers for all families involved 😭
@@joshuaturk3678 you are absolutely correct; most of us have friends who have our backs & apparently Henry did not. As for the blacking out, unless someone has undiagnosed epilepsy & suffered their first seizure or had a head injury there's always a reason to black out Point is that we all know not to drink & drive. People do it anyway. And yes as you mentioned one may not be aware of anything if they blackout. If though one blacks out after drinking.....well nice try Of course it would say if you blacked out you didn't mean to do it but if you blacked out after drinking you are still legally responsible. Henry Will get jail time - probably stands a good chance of losing his football career; if we were to ask him today if he meant to kill Ms Tinted, I'm sure he'd tell you no. But like my sister, she's still dead.
But when you see so.eone intoxicated, why didn't they take the keys away from him to stop him from driving? I get the drinking part is a choice, but to know the dangers of drinking and driving and how it can impair someone, all those other people could've stopped him whether he liked it or not. Now, he ruined his life and the families of those who died by his driving. They were "yes men," not his friends.
I can watch recorded games and still see Henry score a TD and lift his eyes up and salute his best friend who died he is such a great young man Nick loves his players and is a great man God Bless Henry and his family and the victims family
That was a great speech to young players! Many young people think their invincible and then in the blink of an eye, everything they worked for is gone forever. It happens more than you think.
I remember exactly where I was when I got that news. My very first reaction was hoping everyone was ok, I didn’t find out it was one of my favorite players from my absolute favorite team until much later. Over in an instant is such an understatement. Everyone in that crash had so much potential. One singular decision ruined multiple families and lives.
GOAT. Ruggs should’ve listened to coach’s wisdom. Saban can’t be there forever, but great coaches matter. And I’m a die hard Georgia fan. No better coach than Nick Saban.
As a Bama fan I think every player that leaves Nick Saban to go to the league need to continue to stay in touch with him and register the message that he preaches
Coach Saban is speaking hard core truths that everyone can benefit from. We are the sum total of the five people we spend the most time with. The Question is who are you spending your time with? Will they be Strong Enough to tell you No when you are Wrong? And to Coach Saban's Point Are you Strong Enough to Tell your friends No, when you need to Say no. Good Message for Everyone Coach. So Sorry for Henry that there was no one there to tell him No--Don't Drive!!
Coach Saban is a good Christian man but real and down to earth 🙏 When you hear the heartbreak and compassion in his heart you know he is real God bless him God bless the family of the ones killed and God bless Henry Ruggs and his parents and whole family
2006 my buddies from work drank at their house at 9:30am watching Ohio state and my Michigan they're buckeye fans they beat my wolverines but we had a good time drinking everclear I was so wasted they took my keys and drove me home I pray God's blessings upon them I don't drink anymore...
My friend fought me in the parking lot for his keys back when he tried to drive home drunk, but he still didn’t get them back and the next day I took him back to his car and he thanked me for not letting him drive that night.
U can hear the pain in his voice.😢 Saban loves his players.
No doubt! He cherishes it when his former players come back!
HR case so heartbreaking. The death of the mother and child is heartbreaking but what happened to HR is also. I honestly think I've done 1 or 2 different things crazier and more irresponsible than he did that night but managed not to hurt anyone.

@@raymonddunne7153 it was a girl and her dog, but still very sad.
@@seang9450 yes this one hurt him
That was amazing. Saban is a gift to humanity.
“and he never had one problem on our team at alabama” got me for some reason😩
Me too. Really wish ruggs had just one friend that night. Would’ve saved the life of Ms. Tintor and his future.
@111greatness6 Henry was a good person and still is but he made a poor decision that cost someone their life.
@@111greatness6 me too
Man I hate how good Alabama is, but I honestly kinda like hearing what Nick Saban has to say, a real players coach
Yes he is
Be grateful that you’re witnessing history im not an Alabama fan myself but I cant hate them i love greatness especially at the level Alabama has done it man after Saban retires we’ll probably never see another dynasty like this again
Yep 💯 facts that he's a good Coach that cares about people & winning championships
This makes my heart hurt for Ruggs, especially his back story, with his friend getting killed by a drunk driver.
It’s over…
BIG FACTS!!! So many lives affected by a senseless act!
I've stopped a friend from driving drunk, sure he got mad at me that night, but he was alive to be mad at me that night. When he sobered up he realized I was just being a friend and apologized.
That’s leadership
Good man

You not only saved his life but potentially others he could’ve hit.
The way he said “and he’s in jail , and he’s a GOOD KID , and he never had a problem on our team at Alabama. Just got me
I got goosebumps. That hit hard.
You can hear the pain in his voice. This is the only time I've ever heard Saban sound like this...😢

A true leader, leading young men into adulthood. Nick Saban is a great man.
This is why he’s the greatest coach
Pete carroll would have been nick saban if the NCAA didnt screw USC, but this is a great speech
@@WORLDWIDESOCAL9What?...Lol, #CoachSaban is on a plateau of his own
Lmfaoo where he gets all the best players every year.
Could not do shit in the NFL with a level playing field. That’s why he ran away
Pete carroll owned CFB you maybe too young, only reason bama rose up from garbage is cause they put sanctions on USC@@crmsntyde4ever428
In college yeah nfl no
I got goosebumps listening to that clip
😢well done coach, we love you and Mrs Terry
Nick Saban is one of a kind.
Carved of pure greatness this man is
Amazing message - thank u coach
Nick Saban is a national treasure. 🫡
You 100% become who surround yourself with, great speech
Gotta love him
Man, he really hits home with this. So sad. One bad decision not intended to hurt anybody destroyed so many lives. I hate it for everybody.
That hits hard, direct, unapologetic and true
Keeping it REAL!
The sport is going to miss the this man
That’s as real as it gets
Be the person that tells someone what they need to hear not what they want to hear. It’s not always comfortable.
Damn coach that hit from a raider fan
L
Bro who cares what team you like
@@foxfire1112 you obviously know nothing about henry ruggs
Raider fan....the girl burned alive u serious bro...
@@bkboy2384 go eat 💩 bro it’s none of my business I’m still a raider fan no matter what????people die every day

Yes Sir!
He is absolutely correct, how many lives have been destroyed due to similar circumstances. It doesn’t have to be this way!
Nick Saban seriously needs a podcast to talk about these sort of things!!!
This dang there brought tears to my eyes.
Raider here. Thanks coach . I've been waiting a long long time for someone to bring Henry to the fore front for just a minute. Bless u Ruggs RN4L
who r you
In fairness we don’t know if Saban brings him up in every meeting or this was the first.
My point is just because we don’t hear anyone talking about rugged doesn’t mean that people aren’t
Wtf? He killed someone. Bless him? He’s a victim now?
Ruggs is POS💩💩💩💯... He showed NO REMORSE NONE🏴 He cant suffer enough... 🔥🔥🔥
WTF? Ruggs condemned that poor woman to burning to death. Fuck him and fuck you for "blessing" him. He deserves to rot in jail.
The greatest coach right here🙌🏾🙋🏽♀️🙏🏾
Wow the GOAT said it so perfectly. God Bless you Coach 🙏

Total class. I know the troops would love to hear him speak.
Let’s never forget how lucky we are to have this man as a coach.
Nick Saban would probably be a good president.
He would be also a hell of a motivational speaker too dude loves his guys
No

Facts gotta be a true friend & leader
Saban 100% right which is why despite my hatred of Bama he is the greatest cosch in NCAAF history.
That just means that despite your hatred of Bama, you’re not an absolute idiot. Everyone who can read knows he’s the GOAT.
Super great preaching!!!
U can tell saban will always be there for his current and former players that’s what a coach is
Gave me chills

Faithful are the wounds of a friend, but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.
I wholeheartedly agree!
