re: What is it about Nick Saban that makes him such an extraordinary Head Coach?

If he's like the one coach I had who was one of the top in his sport... it has to be being an overbearing a-hole. He also used to have a huge recruiting advantage before he moved to college. Generally an unlikeable prick, but damn he coached a lot of Olympians and American record holders. Not much taller than Saban and equally mediocre in his competing days just my 2¢.

Edit: coached us to 30% of our 2012 olympic medals, but what do I know about elite coaches.

So being "an overbearing a-hole" is the reason he's such a great coach, huh? you're a fricking idiot.
