How is his abject failure at the profession level an “overblown” concern?
You would think with strong ties with Garrett he would take himself out of consideration.if you're gonna take on that kind of tycoon as a HC, make sure he is bringing you something rarely unique to where he is the innovative of the new age,
new era, new future of NFL football. space age vs stone age, and you don't have to be as concerned about monster ego and over exerted authority battles.
Saban makes it work at the college level for decades, where he's dominated college recruiting and best mold it into winning at CBS playoff system.
But that's NCAA. and Saban is not Bill Belichek.
Belichek made his mark as constant innovative and the measuring stick of coaches and building ground at the NFL rank and level.
Belly himself is a constant on finding new ways to strategically beat his opponents on both sides
That's not Saban. He is still old school conservative, he'll stay conservative old school.
I think Saban is more at his best when he can call all the leads and shots without an authority figure over his head.
And if you know Saban and you know Jerry, you know its' going to be so very short lived, if at all.
The nowadays Jerry is more content with compromising and working cooperatively with Stephen and McClay, very highly doubt that's gonna happen with an ego driven Saban.
The first sign of insecurity in business is the fear of hiring someone that might be better than you are. Many have shortened their careers because of this.I think Jerry is hardly insecure. Seems senile, yes, insecure, no.
It seems like a lot of the wishes for the next Cowboy coach is coming from the college ranks. I am not crazy about some of the names, but if we are talking about college why not throw Saban in the mix? Now he may not want to move on and he may not want to work under the clown show here, but shouldn't a call at least be made? Alabama is at an interesting spot. I am sure they are going to be good next year, but for the first time in several years, they may not be one of the top three favorites entering next year. Plus Saban has the Dolphin failure on his resume. Does he want one more chance to try to win big in the pros? Saban has mentioned in the past how the fanbase at Alabama takes for granted winning at Alabama and this has frustrated him.
Last night on HBO there was a show where Belicheck and Saban had their conversation taped. I only saw half of it, but it was really interesting. They allowed a camera to be in the room with them as they talked about philosophy, coaching, etc. You get to see the side from Belicheck you don't see in front of the media as well.
Saban's Dolphins "failure" was a 9-7 season. In Dallas, that's an incredible success.
Saban has a better NFL head coaching record than Josh McDaniels. Some people just like to talk out of their butts to try to sound smarter than they are.
