Nick Saban is the hardest working coach in football. He coaches his assistants and lives, eats and shits football. Of course he's the best recruiter in college football but he knows what to do with em when they get here. And although he struggles with spread teams, he's a defensive guru and he'll get that fixed. I think you already knew the answer to this question bro. He's a fricking beast.

So well, they seem to be bailing at a record pace

Yeah, because no other coach could do what he has with his talent.

He's got the worst case of little man syndrome ever.

I agree with almost everything you said here. But this last is not true. Strategically, Nick Saban is ordinary on both sides of the ball. He often gets out-schemed on defense. However, his guys are almost always the most disciplined on the field. When Saban says five and out they run five and out. When they're supposed cover a zone they do it. In college that's what's necessary to win because college aged kids are such doofie. In the pros you better be able to scheme with the best, and that's not Saban's hallmark. He's the best coach in college, though.
