Reality: Saban needed a respectable way to get out of BR and into Tuscaloosa.

In all honesty, if you look at Saban and his strong points, it's literally impossible to honestly say his strengths aren't more suite for college football.

He is one of the greatest recruiters in the history of college football. That's undeniable.

He is a dictator. That doesn't fly in the NFL when you are coaching grown arse men. It used to, but somewhere along the lines, the players started seeing themselves as higher ups than the coaches, when in fact, the coaches are supposed to be their bosses. Salaries play a big role in this backwards arse way of thinking though.

He has his way of every player doing their job and he doesn't care what your way is. Kind of part of the dictatorship angle. When players get to the nfl, they have their own way of doing their jobs and they don't really give a shite if the coach likes it or not. The way they see it, their way obviously worked or else they wouldn't have made it on the roster in the first place.

I could see Saban having a complete mental come apart dealing with nfl players over the course of a few years. He truly is suited for the college game. He is a teacher and molder of players and he is a master recruiter. Those 2 things are made null and void coaching in the nfl.
