I read somewhere that he requires equipment guys to carry a certain number of helmet snaps on them during games. No detail gets past him
An anecdote from the recent book on him tells you alot about his psyche. Where he was in 3rd grade or so and super shy. He didnt participate in an exercise in music class and got an F. so his dad proceeded to take him to the bottom of a coal mine in the WV town they lived in and told him if he failed in school thats where hed spend the rest of his life lol

Yeah, I read that part, in chapter 3. It's called "Why I'm an a-hole - It's True, but Not My Fault".

It's the perfect storm at Bama. You have a massive support system for the team combined with his ability to overcome all obstacles. He and Bama have enjoyed a symbiotic relationship, both have grown from it.

Besides his unmatched drive to win and dominate, organizational skills and ability to identify and develop the best football talent in the country, I think it’s his willingness to adapt.
After bitching about it for a few years, he realized the spread-the-field, HUNH offenses weren’t going anywhere, so he attacked it on defense and adopted it (sort of) on offense.
He went from giant D linemen and LBs to quicker, smaller, rangier guys. Hell, he shocked the world and hired Lane Frickin’ Kiffin to remake and modernize his offense. Now he has the best dual threat QB in college football who is throwing the ball all over the field and leading the top offense in the country.
Quote at halftime of Arkansas: “It don’t matter. I don’t care how we score. Do you get points for running more than passing? ... It don’t matter to me.”

I know firsthand that he is maniacal... perhaps the best combination for success. He was besides himself when an LSU secretary complimented him on his haircut. Sabin asked that she never address him unless he addressed her first. No doubt he is a genius ... but ... I would not want to be related to him.

Alabama.
It's the only place where he has been a dominant. He went from a great coach to the greatest of all time.
When he was at LSU he was a good coach, but he had losing records to Auburn and Tommy Tuberville was meh vs Florida and was even blown out 31-0 against the Tide and Fran.
He came to Bama at the right time. They just had completed stadium renovations and the state talent level was peaking.
In his first full recruiting class in O8 the state pumped out 3 1st Rd top 10 picks. Julio, Barron, and Marcel Dareus. Along with other All-americans like Robert Lester and Upshaw. He also landed a Heisman trophy back in Ingram because he coached his dad. He also got an Outland trophy winner, because his dad played basketball for Bama in Barrett Jones. He got Hightower because that Phil's incompetence.
The 1st full class was Paramount. It's said to be the most expensive classes of all-time.
He also puts together great staffs, he doesn't hang on to coordinators too long. Major Applewhite was the only really bad hire at the coordinator spot and he only lasted one year.

It's just funny how no one could tell until he got to Bama and the Chargers showed up. Before that he was just another coach with a NC (Larry Coker and Chizik also have one) and losing to average teams.
