Jacob M. Carter, author of the critically-acclaimed bestseller, "Before History Dies," takes you inside the University of Alabama football program to give you a greater appreciation for the players, the coaches, and the fans who are the driving force behind the dynasty that is the Alabama Crimson Tide!

When Coach Nick Saban arrived in Tuscaloosa in 2007, no one had any idea of how high the Crimson Tide would rise. Now with four National Championships over the span of seven years, the Alabama Crimson Tide is the undisputed college football dynasty of the 21st century. How did he do it? What was the driving force behind his Process? How has Alabama managed to remain a consistent contender for the National Title for more than a decade?

Carter answers these questions by asking questions of the young men in the trenches, those who played for Saban on his National Championship teams. Carter refers to them as the Undercurrent of the undisputed dynasty. Whether you are a player, a coach, a football fanatic, or a college football fan, "The RipTide" will provide you with an inside look into Coach Saban’s program, through the eyes of those who lived it.
