i'm sure this won't play well, but i'm waiting on the nick saban/bama thing to explode. his status keeps rising and with that there is usually a drop in accountability. at some point, people in his position often begin to believe they are above the rules (laws, etc). in sabans case it could apply to him or the school. I have seen this many times in the business world. the human ego, when super inflated, can (and often does) become destructive. this is not inevitable but likely. bobby Bowden is a prime example.

Yes he does and it will be glorious if Alabama's offense stalls out in the championship game and they lose. Can you imagine the post game presser

Will be glorious I tell you

Ten years and counting.....

The "status" that keeps rising is what Saban would call clutter. If he was going to be consumed by his success, it would have happened a couple of NCs ago.

Seriously? He's getting former head coaches to take assistant, assistant to assistant, and secretarial staff level jobs in the program. It never occurred to me that anyone would be stupid enough not to see how extraordinarily effective that has been for building a dominant program.


It's really incredible.

Saban effectively had 3 HCs on his staff, not including guys like Pruitt that will eventually be HCs. That human capital, collective acumen, whatever you want to call it, all adds up. No one can see everything, and Saban has guys that could be HCs elsewhere, filling in his blind spots. What other team can say that?

I used to be a Saban hater but just can't anymore. I have to appreciate someone who finds a way to remain a step ahead of the field for so long.

If Clemson wins the NC the crack will be set and a small number of Bama fans will start clamoring for Dabo to come home. If Dabo wins again next year then Bama fans will be fun to watch.

I think this is where your logic is skewed a bit. Nick Saban doesn't rescue fallen coaches, he hires the most qualified coaches he can find. So does everybody else. Just because a coach fails as a head coach, doesn't make him any less of a coordinator. It isn't a rescue he is after, it is a good coach. Which is exactly what he got.

This.

I's only questionable if said coach goes off the rails in a bigtime way.

BAMA players buy into the process and view the Saban way as a road to be successful and losing Kiffin does nothing to change this and may actually make the players play harder



I totally agree. The process is all about getting the players to collectively believe in and project Sabans' philosophy. Rock solid team leaders do as much or more than coaches when it comes to the mental state of a team. Saban has recruited tremendous talent but that is only about half of the puzzle.
