football title game between the Crimson Tide and Georgia. So a mention of Bulldogs coach Kirby Smart made its way into the tune rather than Nick Saban.No matter to Hayes, really. As with all ‘Bama fans, he has experienced a load of winning, right from the days he wore a T-shirt emblazoned with “Hold on Bear, I'm Comin'” as a youngster.His family, as happens often in Alabama, was split between the Tide and the Auburn Tigers.
Hayes' father rooted for Auburn and his mother for 'Bama. Several of his brothers went to school in Tuscaloosa.“Not sure how my mom won that battle, but I came out a Bama fan,” he says with a laugh.Now that he, wife Laney and their six children live in Nashville, where a certain Heisman Trophy winner from Alabama happens to be the best running back in the NFL, Hayes has become a Titans fan, too."Derrick Henry and me have corresponded on Instagram during COVID," he notes. "I am big on rooting for athletes, and especially then while they were not able to have the exposure.“Sports is such a great metaphor for life, with everything consolidated down to one game.
I am always trying to teach my kids something from sports. Most definitely inspiration for me comes from sports.”He was bummed that the Titans didn't get to the AFC championship game, when Hayes performed at halftime in January. He also did the halftime show for the semifinal playoff match between Georgia and Michigan.The draft comes at a good time for Hayes, who currently is on an extended national tour.
