the 9-6 game convinced Saban he needed to change his philosophy on offense. By the time the NC game came around he had AJ making aggressive first down throws he wouldn't have dreamed of trying against LSU just a few months prior.

He understands you have to constantly reinvent yourself to stay on top, Les never understood that and that's why he's not the LSU coach today.

That's probably the biggest difference between the two bc in his day Les was a very good coach.

No one adapts to environmental change like Saban. The guy is constantly evolving. His evolution morphed into him being able to see the need for change before change is required

The Duke of Wellington said about Napoleon at Waterloo, "They came at us in the same old way and we defeated them in the same old way." Definitely applies to LSU's game plan that night. Every time the 1/9 game comes up I think of the Iron Duke's quote.

Same thing in the business world. You live in the past, you die.

pretty much sums it up perfectly. Frustrating to read, but a good post nonetheless.
