LOL. Saban was the first coach to use Skype to talk to a recruit. The staff is monitoring our players activity right now via Apple Watches. They have GPS tech inside of the pads that help coaches make the players more efficient. UA just hired the most forward thinking S&C duo in the country.
If you think Saban is going to lose out on the innovation front because he made some corny remark about email, then you don’t know him.

That's what I am saying, he is on the cutting edge in every other aspect but proudly says he has never sent a text, email, tweet. I don't understand it. Since it's the main way coaches are communicating with players during the pandemic it would be nice of he would learn to text, and it just seems stubborn for him not to.

Exactly. When they came up with the rule that HCs couldn't go out and recruit in the Spring (a rule specifically made so Saban couldn't recruit in the Spring and other HCs were too lazy to go out) he Skyped players.
He also invented "bumping" into players.
Many rules in place are specifically in place because Saban is so good.
He is a genius when it comes to being inventive and is innovative when it comes to CFB. If he weren't a coach he'd be a billionaire CEO like Elon Musk. Because guys like that think on a different level than everyone else. Other people are just playing catch up.
Don't fall for the whole "I don't do social media" act. It's just a part of the whole image of being an "old-school" coach. Even Bear Bryant marketed the whole houndstooth thing. It's just an image thing. There's a whole team working on social media a player-contact.
Every detail is covered.
No one thought Saban would get away from the run-heavy pro-style offense...then he hired Kiffin...then he had a player like Blake Sims, Hurts and Tua.
There's nothing "old-school" about Saban. He's on the leading edge of everything.

Thank you for pouring some common sense on the dumbass Op's thread.
Saban ain't got time for Facebook or Twitter. He will hire the best available to do that shite.

all of this. Saban isn't just flippantly overlooking the power of social media and virtual communication. To think so is asinine.
