Saban proved he couldnt win on an equal playing field in the nfl. He is an above average defensive coordinator Ill give him that. However his success at Alabama is simply due to having the best players and making them play w discipline. Discipline is easy to do when u can bench a player and replace him w one just as good.
ALL successful Coaches in any Sport......same model....
Coach Summit had it....
1>Structure
2>Discipline
3>the PROCESS
And that is IT........ask any player that has played for a Coach that follows this format in any sport....they will tell you what the process is!!
