Just my guess, but I'm bettin Saban will control the locker room before the game, and if any former greats are there, it will be no more than 3 (Cannon would top my list, maybe Rohan because he knows some of these players). You want to show the team the importance of the game, but you don't want this to become too emotional and take any focus away from what the gameplan is and what their assignment is. Controlling who's on the sidelines, same thing. You don't want it to become just a big party. Too many people can create confusion, make communications harder. We have to do all the things that improve our chances to win the game. Saban has earned our respect for knowing how to do that. If he has to lock everyone out of the locker room to be successful, so be it.
