re: If you want your team to be like Saban's teams, do this.

You mean like he did also when he was at Miami and that player collapsed on the field and he walked right over him?

So what? You think Vince Lombardi would have done something else? Let the trainer address the player's health issues.

Football is HARD and requires superhuman focus. If a player has to go to the hospital you stop practice? No. Go see the young man in the hospital after practice.

If you want a Plush Toy to be your head coach, you are going to have a Plush Toy program.

The effective leader DRIVES his men to superhuman effort at the appropriate times. After the hard work is over and it is time to rest, there is plenty of time to address issues of care, compassion and morale.

When Vince Lombardi drilled his Offensive Line on the Sled Push Drill, did he stand on the sled to make it harder or did he push with his men to make it easy for them?
