some wrong here.Kirby can sell ice to the eskimos but he can't judge or manage QB talent to save his life. Funny thing, the fans on their board are now worried UF is going to out-recruit them. They have an acquisition sickness that goes beyond fielding a team with depth.
The one thing Saban has above all his former assistants is his uncanny ability to know when trends are changing. Spread offense, changing defense, etc. Kirby is stubborn and a control freak. The JT Daniels situation makes me wonder if Kirby did his due diligence on the kid before bringing him in; it seems like the injury was far worse than a normal ACL tear. Or he re-injured it when he got to UGA for the summer practices... OR he just isn't as good as he was before the injury.... there is talk on their 247 site of Daniels possibly transferring at the end of the season.....
-He is LATTTTTTE on the spread offense....super late.
-Changing defense im not even sure about that...as his defenses started getting lit up by teams with competent offenses. When he first got in the sec there wasnt many. And the teams with similar or close to talent of Bama ran prehistoric offenses that saban's defense was built for.
TX A&M, OLE MISS is on like their 3rd coach and is still running up scores on him.
What Saban has over his former assistants is he remains at Bama. Thats it. He isnt building anything new, he is just plugging in cogs. His interchangable parts are the 5 star players and his bevy of coaches that were former hc's that would come there and essentially work for peanuts.
His former coaches have to go elsewhere and build up programs he aint doing that. He has the biggest budget, unlimited resources, crazy boosters buying up recruits, etc.
Kirby Smart is the only one i can think that has that...buuuuuuuttt runs a prehistoric offense and chased off qb talent.
Lawrence Cager went there and was their best wr. Let that sink in.....Cager a guy the fans hated here went there and KJ OSBORN their wr group.
