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.
