From eevrything hes heard, Saban has no main hobbies, or other events he does, hes just 100% football obsessed every day of the year. He goes to sleep around 11 and up between4 and 5, but its all about being perfect.

Thats fine and all, but even someone with his salary eventually reaches BURNOUT at some point. Thats my only concern.

I can identify with this mode of operation. I'm currently in it and yes you do reach burnout. However, he has a $4M+ annual incentive that most of us don't have. But the body can only take so much...especially at his age.

Today, in order to be “the best” at in athletics, or anything for that matter, one must be talented first and then, has to be abnormally fanatic about what they do. I am not saying that Coach Saban is the best, but he possesses the traits from which champions are made. I don't believe it is a healthy mentality or lifestyle, but to be the TOP, nowadays, that is what it seems to take.

I have read books about Michael Jordan and Pete Maravich. If you have too, you will notice a similarity in their mentality and behavior. It is a behavior that I and most of us do not understand or desire
