He recruits great players and then keeps it simple. Play great defense, especially in the front 7, run the ball on offense, and make ball control the #1 priority at the QB position. And never allow any player to become larger than the team. Other coaches try similar things but then abandon it too quickly when things don't go as planned. Saban has a system that works and he sticks to it.

What, lol! That defense is anything but simple. I've seen several former players mention how easy the transition was, because the playbook at Bama was bigger and more complicated.
It is definitely about the Jimmy's and Joe's, up to a certain point. But the talent levels between the elite teams is marginal. This is when his attention to detail makes him the best. Yes, he's a workaholic. But it's his detail oriented nature that makes him the best.
