Former Sewanee quarterback and baseball standout Phil Savage, who became an NFL general manager, analyst on Alabama football radio broadcasts and executive director of the Senior Bowl, will be speaking at his alma mater at 1 p.m. EDT Friday, and the public is invited. Savage will be talking about his new book, "4th and Goal Every Day: Alabama's Relentless Pursuit of Perfection." Co-authored by Ray Glier, it has a preface by Alabama coach Nick Saban. Savage, who graduated from Sewanee in 1987, was a UA graduate assistant coach before beginning his NFL career as a defensive assistant for Saban under then-Browns head coach Bill Belichick. After his talk in Convocation Hall at Sewanee, he will field questions and sign copies of the book.
