Let me guess, you were his boss?

Kidding.

But, I agree. Imagine if Nick Saban wouldn't have signed players X, Y, and Z at Michigan State that led to his success, or player W that made a critical play that changed the momentum in a game at Toledo. And even as it's been stated, what if Saban was able to have Brees in Miami? He may still be there.

I don't believe there is a huge difference in between schemes, practices, recruiting efforts, etc. between the top 50 coaches in America. They are all doing something that works, because if they weren't they wouldn't be a head coach.

There is a point where coaches learn the tricks of the trades and how to coach football. After that, it's up to the luck of the game.

When the off-season comes, I hope enough people can be convinced to have a real non-troll discussion about what truly separates the top coaches, including luck, approach, mindset, positional expertise, etc.

Actually, he was a client. The only SEC grads I know I've been in charge of were a UK one, but she got promoted to a different branch of the company a couple months later, and two Ole Miss ones. Since half my family is OM all the way, we had some fun discussions because they knew my family would never approve of me disciplining an OM grad.
