He wins because his teams are better prepared due to the work the coaches put in. His secret to success is no secret: he pretty much outworks everyone else.
we said he would win a national title at Bama in 4 years, he did it in 3.
The man's a great coach, but he has awoken 2 sleeping giants after coming in at the perfect time. Come to MSU and win a national title and then I will be impressed.
The SOB is a year ahead of schedule. As for whether saban could have success at a historically f'd up program, I think it's a false choice at this point. Part of what makes saban successful is knowing where to coach.
Saban went to LSU after mediocre seasons at Michigan St. Louisiana State has no excuses in losing games with all of the in-state talent. Saban next chooses Bama which by reputation alone should always garner top 10 recruiting classes. However, I have no doubt that he outworks everyone else. I heard a story about ripping the janitors at Bama and getting 2 of them fired when he first got there for emptying his garbage can in his office without his knowledge of who was in his office and when. He is a control freak of the highest order and it has served him well over the years. It certainly feels like dark clouds loom over the SEC west for the next 4-5 years no matter if he stays or goes. Hopefully his ego will push him to attempt the NFL again.
