It just did not seem like their personalities were compatible

Great coaches put people around them that challenge them. Easier said than done but Saban is a great coach.

Weak coaches put their buddies around them.

This season he has really come off as more human and less sociopath. After watching Kiffen's speech at that awards deal the other day I cant help but believe he is at least partially responsible for this turnaround.


You really think Kiffin has helped Saban's personal growth? What are you even saying?

I believe the issue of Saban's personal growth was more of a question than a statement. having never met the man I obviously am in no position to say one way or another what caused it. I am just eating a little crow over the matter while pointing out the obvious change and asking others opinions. could just as easily be the grandkid thing which hadnt occurred to me.

its not common for a leader with a domineering personality such as Saban to hire another alpha male and it work out worth a shite. its normally a recipe for disaster. most great leaders hire their polar opposite for this very reason.
