The head coach is responsible for everything. The best way to learn about head coaching is to actually do head coaching: How to recruit, who to recruit, who to hire, type of offense, delegation, off field PR/media.

Also, I imagine Saban learned the importance of a massive support staff at Miami, and he brought that NFL stuff to bama. It’s not something he had to suddenly figure out. He implemented it immediately at bama, just as Kirby did at uga.

I'm aware of this; however, being responsible for everything doesn't mean everything is granted equal importance. Some things are more crucial to sustained success in college football than others.

I don't think you learn "how" to recruit from being a head coach, but rather from the previous head coach you work for. You typically don't learn the "how" of complex roles once they're thrust upon you - tweak, refine, customize as your own, sure. Not the "how" though.

Folks aren't given a scalpel and a patient to learn "how" to operate. That comes after a lot of information has already been imparted onto you.
