Well, if you weren't looking to be smart, I apologize. I think Saban has flaws, like any human, but people forget that these are just kids attempting to replicate the scheme on the field. Easier said than done. Sometimes, you get your arse slapped.

I wouldn't call them flaws, just the difference between the two coaches. Could Belichick duplicate what Saban has done in college ? Will never know, but we do know Saban's history in the NFL.
The discussion should be if Saban success is his game planning or implementing the game planning vs talent. I do not think Belichick has had the luxury of the most talented teams in the NFL every year.

Saban is great at both of those things, or at least, has been. Maybe people are catching up to him, closing the gap that has been so prominent. I can't see him simply falling off, but who knows what that would even be considered, granted he's maintained success. I'm not a huge fan of comparing coaches, maybe in an attempt to broaden your own perspective, but not much more.

Really? Have you checked to see how many years it took Belichick to be a successful head coach in the NFL?
"From 1991 until 1995, Belichick was the head coach of the Cleveland Browns. During his tenure in Cleveland, he compiled a 36–44 record, leading the team to the playoffs in 1994, his only winning year with the team."
