He brings in DJ Durkin, Hugh Freeze, Butch Jones, Lane Kiffin, Steve Sarkisian after their personal ****storms and gets them at a nickle because they are down and out. Says they are visiting to test the media fire and if no huge blow back, weasels their them onto the staff at 35K a year for a couple years.
If they work out, great, if not, they move on.
Most other schools would not touch these guys after what they went through, but a winner sees the opportunity and jumps on it, Fack public perception, Nick can do no wrong.
Other schools suck as us, we don't even sniff the waters. SMDH.

Here is a good article where most of this came from.

Our administration and Richt would never allow this to happen at Miami. Says something.

Too be fair though in terms of Durkin, he can go kick rocks. Guys like Sarkisian had their own personal struggles and I don't mind throwing those guys a life line. But Durkin ran his program to the point it cost a player his life. I'm okay with Durkin never getting another shot in college.
 
Saban wants to win. Saban needs to win.

His ego understands he is there to win, it is also big enough to do it seemingly at any cost. If Richt cannot see the issues at hand and make appropriate changes it will show his ego is about himself, not winning. Saban sees and issue, or a possible danger and takes care of it, will Richt do the same?

We see posts about chess and checkers, Saban is playing chess on a level we are no where near scratching.
 
It’s easy to be “brilliant” when you can spend as much as you want and do whatever you want.

Very true, but how successful do you think he would be if he did not recruit a full roster? How successful do you think he would be if he did not use the full resources available when filling staff positions?

Beat any dead horses lately?

Saban is nowhere near the all time greats for this reason alone, IMO

You're right, he isn't near them, he's passed them.

You think there is a financial disparity now? lol, it is nothing compared to what it used to be with unlimited scholarships.

You think bags are new? The old days everyone at the bigs was getting paid and nobody gave a crap, that's just the way it was.

Has everything to do with the administration imo, Saban has the complete backing of his, they like the winning and what it brings. Our's dont really care that much, think thats obvious by now, and until that changes we are where we are. I dont think many in ours was here during all the winning years when we were kicking ***, therefore have no idea what that does for your school, all they know about is a rogue booster that caused the Miami name to be plastered all over creation in a bad bad light, so its prolly still a sore spot with them. I came to this conclusion when they hired Mork and paid him 4 mill when they could have hired Butch for half that

Easy to ask you the same question if you are defending not utilizing resources, but saying Saban has success because he has endless resources. It was an appropriate answer your statement.

I guess it's wrong to expect that the team have a full roster and it's wrong to expect that we bring in the best coaches and analyst for the job, but it is okay to say Saban is successful because of resources and money. Yep, no dead horse beating on the Saban thing there. Just add bags and you hit the trifecta of Bama dominance.

Saban can get them at 35K because most of, if not all of those coaches, had money owed to them by their previous university.

Heard on the radio this morning the host was speculating that Saban was just helping out his agent Jimmy Sexton by bringing him in for a day to gauge the response to see if there was a market for Durkin this year or whether he would need to sit out a year.
