You know there are other coaches that know just as much about football as he does so what do you think it is that makes him a better football coach than others and what mamkes his players respond to him so well?

He's a damn good coach. Pays close attention to details. Demands agressive play.

His attitude.
He's damn serious and he has a proven track record.
It's that simple.

scoop, he has many qualities that make him damn good. no one around him is allowed to fail and they pay for it if they do. i don't want to bust your bubble, but micro managers like coach saban generally don't stay at one place very long because theur shite gets old. don't get me wrong, i'm not saying he's gonna leave. it's possible, at his age, he decides to stay longer than normal. he isolates every player and pushes them to be the best. sounds good, but his methods of intimidation wear thin and players will eventually rebel and lay down on him. happens in business, too. enjoy the success while he's there. like i say, i may be wrong and i hope i am. i hope i am because i love to go up against guys like that. i want to beat 'em bad. something like going after the best.

Dedication/commitment
The man is totally focused on preparing his team. He lives his commitment (he's disciplined) and demands it from his assistants and players. He's a brilliant defensive mind and doesn't allow his offense to beat his team with mistakes. In other words he's conservative on offense except when he knows he has to be aggressive like in the Florida game. He knows his opponents inside and out and tunes his defense and offense to match his opponents strengths and weaknesses. In other words he's about as close to the perfect coach as you will find.

Relentless recruiter and an intimdator of the kids playing for him.
I heard this story from a Mich St grad and believe it is true. In the early 80's while on staff at Mich St (he would come back later as HC) he was recruiting Andre Rison. Rison was being raised by his grandmother. The gran mother started drinking on Christmas Eve and called Nick to come drink with her. Nick left his family and returned at 3am after drinking with Andre's grandmother sealing the deal for Andre to go to Mich St.
That is dedication you don't see every day.

He is the best DB coach in college football for one. He keeps his team disciplined. He recruits well. He hires good assistants.

Passion, preperationa and accountability.

Discipline!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!He instills discipline at all positions. Run the ball play solid defense and wait for the other team to make a mistake!!! Which they normally do. It all starts with being disciplined though!!!!!!!!!

He has the unique ability to be tough on his players, but get them to buy into it & know he will make them the best they can be. He is a work- aholic as most coaches are, but he has a knack for surrounding himself with great assistants, great recruiters. The other teams fear his rep, & I don't care what anyone says they should. He is a very nice man if you have ever talked to him, & I don't see where he had much choice to leave LSU...Miami was gonna keep him on that dang jet until he got his price. Damn I wish he was back at LSU (no offense to Miles, but Saban is better). Allright Bama, I admit it, I am jealous...maybe someday he will come home to Baton Rouge. 
BTW, I will have to pull for Bama in the Championship game, SEC & all, so don't screw it up! Roll Tide ( Lord forgive me)!
