As for Belichick, the five-time Super Bowl-winning coach who said on Monday he “absolutely” plans to stay with the Patriots, Collins said Belichick is too similar to his college coach, Nick Saban, for his taste. He credited Saban’s rigid style with getting him to the NFL, but it’s not something he wants to live through again.

“The way he runs his organization, I’ve been through that process. I don’t like it,” Collins said. “It’s too strict. …. He’s a great winner, he’s a great coach. I don’t know if [his style] is what the organization really wants.

“I talked to guys who played for [his] team. They love winning, but at the same time, they don’t want to be on the team.”

Honestly, says a lot more about Landon Collins than it does Saban.

Obviously there is some other style of coaching out there that produces equal results in college football.

Right?

You mean a college coach is more strict than a coach who coaches paid professionals?

Who knew

I think we already knew Landon Collins lacked character.

To be the best?

Football is entertainment to me. I want my team to win. I'm not interested in players that view the big leagues as winning the lottery.

Saban is far from strict on criminal behavior. Most bammer criminals face no punishment. I assume Landon was talking about being strict on the every day things it takes to be a good player

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't he talking about Belichick and not Saban? I read it as though he was fine with it in college but not in the NFL, if so is he wrong?
