re: How is bama flipping all these players?

aban makes men of character out of his players and develops them to their full potential.* Parents know that if they send their sons to play for Coach Saban instead of places like Auburn and FSU, they will be held to a higher standard and develop to their full potential.* It's why he's one of the most revered disciplinarians in the business.

* as a football player. Clause two of the contract to gain a scholarship at the University of Alabama stipulates that all whose playing potential were wrongly evaluated or fell out of favor due to some other discretion will be summarily kicked to the curb to make room for further "potential".


There, I fixed it for ya.

You know how you can tell when a coach really cares about the actual person and not the player? It is when you hear him give thanks that he has been able to be in a program long enough to see his seniors grow up and graduate, and then he names guys that have contributed some and others who really never made it onto the arena floor for meaningful minutes. I have never heard Saban talk about any player other than his star players and only those when there is a reason- like a Heisman campaign or recruiting. So yeah, he may be a disciplinarian, and he certainly is a great football coach, but let's be honest here. He doesn't give a shite for anyone outside the process.
