re: Alabama: Keep on Blaming Scott Cochran for your demise,but who will be blamed next season

Cochran is a S&C coach that didn't know whit about special teams. Saban told him to learn the job and Cochran left in a snit.

Yeah. This is what I don't think people understand about Saban or, if they do, they just ignore it because they're rival fans and just want to troll the Alabama fans. He doesn't just give you a job because you want it. He expects you to know it before handing you the reins. Cochran had been a S&C coach for his entire career. One day he just hops over to Saban's office and tells him he wants to advance his career and asks for an on-the-field coaching position. How do you think Saban should have reacted to this request other than telling him he needs to start with the basics?

If you're a CEO of a small company and the head of your maintenance department comes into your office asking for a job in accounting, do you give him that job straight away or do you tell him to learn it first?
