the man single handedly changed the game of football, what are you talking about. read about zone matching defenses. he is a literal football genius.

this is something everyone on defense does today. even high schools.

At one point he certainly was but Bama wasn’t especially innovative under him during his amazing run, especially at the end.

trevorreznik posted:

I think that's underselling him quite a bit. Saban was excellent schematically on defense, he was excellent at coaching up players, and he was excellent at recruiting. He was even excellent at recognizing his weakness on offense and getting good coordinators to cover for him there. There's a reason he has 7 national titles.

He was very good at many things but so are a lot of coaches that are less successful. The big difference between Nick Saban and a lot of other very good coaches who haven’t won 1/3rd of the titles in the last 20 years is he could convince a half dozen five stars to come to Alabama every year.

i'm not gonna go back and forth, if you want to think Saban is just good at getting 17 year olds to come to alabama and that's why he won 6 national titles there and more games than anyone else in that period, fine, you do you. but anyone else reading this needs to know you are off your rocker

https://throwdeeppublishing.com/blogs/news/nick-saban-s-alabama-pass-coverages

saban revolutionized zone coverage, especially with 7 back. which, you might have heard, has been a big deal in football lately with everyone throwing the ball all the time. even if you don't want to acknowledge his continual evolution of defensive schemes, you must acknowledge that he also taught his scheme to EVERY defensive coordinator and EVERY defensive PLAYER that came to alabama. you think those five stars just lifted a lot of weights for three years and then became first rounders?? they learned from saban, because he knows defensive ball better than almost everyone else, at both levels. and he was good at teaching them, because, well, he's got the rings, and they've got the fat first round contracts

That’s all well and good but the fact is Bama hasn’t had a dominant defense in like 10 years. They’re usually pretty good but also prone to giving up big plays. They’ve been winning on offense since he was forced to chance things up after Manziel and Ole Miss beat him a few years in a row.

I don’t think Saban has been the best defensive coach in the league or even top five over the last 10 years. Kirby and Ferentz have been putting better product on the field, for instance. He’s remained so successful in spite of the fact that he’s not the defensive genius he once was, not because of it.

Edit: Final post on it - I don’t think he ever really fully adjusted to the way that spread concepts changed modern offenses and his adjustment was to ensure his offense could score on anyone because he wasn’t going to be able to stop everyone.

Yeah the story is weak as hell and FSU was also weak as hell for settling this thing. Sounds like a transfer portal recruit was just escorted into a booster meeting for a $15k/month thing, then stayed at his school. Tbh I'm not even sure how there's such a thing as an NIL Violation, unless it's because the coach "took part" by making the intro:

https://twitter.com/NicoleAuerbach/status/1745604440650850345?t=REkI9Ycly5t_WGzwCR5cgQ&s=19

Edit: ah, here are the rules


quote:

The school and enforcement staff agreed that the meeting with the booster violated several recruiting rules. Specifically, the meeting constituted an impermissible recruiting contact because boosters are not authorized recruiters and generally cannot have in-person, off-campus contact with prospects. The booster also violated recruiting rules when he initiated telephonic communication with the prospect and his mother. Additionally, the booster's proposed NIL opportunity constituted an impermissible recruiting inducement.

The school, enforcement staff and assistant coach also agreed that during the enforcement staff's investigation, the assistant coach violated unethical conduct rules when he knowingly provided false or misleading information about his knowledge of and involvement in the violations. Specifically, on two occasions, he denied facilitating the meeting between the booster, prospect and prospect's family. However, the assistant coach was truthful about aspects of the violations, including acknowledging his role in transporting the prospect and his parents to the location where they met with the booster. Although providing false and misleading information historically supports a Level I violation, the unique facts and circumstances of this case supported a Level II violation. 

Still weak af

I just happen to be talking about defense to counter your belief that he’s merely a good recruiter (which, of course, he is absolutely one of the best at).

Talent evaluation, team discipline, coaching hires, in game management, etc. I just don’t know what we’re talking about here! He won literally 7 championships at two different programs and you’re saying ‘yeah he was a good recruiter.’ Ask Miami how it’s going with an amazing recruiter alone, or Texas a&m, or Michigan state, or USC, I could go on

My point wasn’t that Saban isn’t an amazing coach, he’s the best to ever do it. It was that Bama is a very attractive job because he proved that you can be historically successful there without needing to be constantly innovative scheme wise. You just need to be pretty good while leveraging all of the advantages of the recruiting territory in your back yard, the donor money spigot, and the fact that nobody in the state will ever stand in your way if your goal is to win more football games.

I don’t think it’s possible to do what he did at somewhere like Oregon, which is why I balk at the idea that Oregon and to Bama would be a horizontal move or that money is the only determining factor.

The flip side is that being the guy who follows the guy is never ideal. But you don’t get to the top of the college football coaching ranks by doubting yourself so I’m not sure how much that will factor in to candidate decision making.

Buddy, look into what Alabama was like in the decades before saban showed up

The hydra of Alabama donors is gonna eat the next coach alive. Sarkisian appears to have finally done what Mack was (mostly) able to do at Texas. It took them three coaching hires to get it right. Saban is what made Alabama what it is, and the next coach is going to be trying to replicate it in an even tougher and deeper SEC
