re: Saban should be the last person to give advice on commitment

I don't think talent had anything to do with it. It was more about control. you cannot control these primadonna NFL players, who are paid millions and told how great they are. He saw that there was an opportunity to actually do something good in the lives of these athletes BEFORE they all became azzholes. He is a disciplinarian, and that is about the only thing that can get thru some of these guy's heads. He tells them if they want to make the big bucks and have a possible career in the NFL, they need to keep clean, be respectful and learn their jobs. The process works.
