Everyone here likes to talk about the systems differences with Saban and Chiz, but you have to remember Saban was actually a 4-3 guy originally


It's not that Chiz runs a 43, it's that he runs a Tampa 2. A smaller, faster style defense.

Saban says be flexible in style, rigid in fundamentals. That style does clash with Bama's NFL size style defense though...

That's certainly true, but the differences were more in the back end. Their philosophy on the front was pretty similar when Saban ran an attacking 4 man front. Saban went two gap 3/4 later in his career. A Belichik influence imo.

Anyway, I was more meaning that in terms of technique and execution on the DL, Chiz and Saban would be a fine combo. I just worry about Chizik having the fire anymore.
