This article is total bullshite. Why even write it?
Saban was miserable in the NFL because he didn't have as much control over his players as he would have liked. Saban preaches the systemic approach, the modern NFL empowers individualism. Saban is not a "players' coach."
The truth is that Saban wasn't THAT bad as an NFL coach. He MIGHT have been able to pull it together like Belichick did. But we will never know because the NFL made him quit. And that's why this article doesn't wash. It fails to take into account that Saban quit out of frustration. Instead, it's just another writer's fantasy where Saban hires Brees and everything works out wonderfully.
This is the same sort of fantasy that LSU fans have, where Saban never leaves LSU and we never lose another game, ever.
It's a waste of time because Saban is where he should be now, and he's apparently happy there, now. So why does everyone think he would have been happier or better off somewhere else? Saban doesn't want a Super Bowl trophy. If he did, he would be in the NFL, taking his lumps like Carroll and Belichick.

It's Kevin Scarbinksy.
He's the guy al.com got to come in when Paul Finebaum was on his way to no longer writing opinion pieces for the Birmingham News. In other words, he's Finebaum's second-string replacement. His sole purpose in writing seemingly anything is simply to generate page views for al.com.
Just ignore him. It's better that way.
