re: What makes Saban so good?

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.
