re: Is Saban anything more than an awesome recruiter?

I think this is actually an interesting, broader question about coaching in general. What is it that makes Nick Saban, for example, so successful? Why is he so able to get teams to buy into his system and other coaches are not? We rip on bad coaches all the time, but the fact is that any head coach in a Division I conference knows a whole hell of a lot about football. What separates the good head coaches from the bad?

It's actually nothing very different from success in all of life's endeavours. Perserverance, preparation, perspiration, all revolving around a master plan (process). I was in a "p" mood.
