I wonder if it ever occured to Mauck that being dismissed like that didn't stoke the competitive fires a little bit. The really good coaches do everything for a reason. I have heard stories from observers about Saban being dismissive of one player, publicly chewing out another while treating yet another player with kid gloves and all players are on the same team at the same time. Ryan Clark I think has a couple good stories out there.
To me, that sounds like Saban knows how to motivate people. Hearing that Saban preferred Randall and/or acting like Saban didn't give a **** about him might have been the difference between National Champ Matt Mauck who played in the NFL and rush off to grad school Matt Mauck.

That right there, exactly, is what I've always thought was the secret "magic" of being an exceptional coach - knowing how to separately handle each player in order to get the absolute best out of them as teammates.
Most have their own broad methods, but few understand (or care) how to individualize players on that level of detail, IMO.
