This Is How You Win Championships

Take a look at the programs at the top in college football and see how much they pay in terms of administrative/staff costs. In college football more money isn't the only solution, but it goes a pretty long way. How does the saying go, "you gotta spend money in order to make money."

Exactly. Saban didn't walk away from the Dolphins for nothing. Also, those support staff Power 5 head coaches aren't just in Tuscaloosa for an education.

He's the only coach that has replicated the success of the 80s/90s Canes. I think that is what this post is all about...how do we get back to the old glory days. It won't happen unless we get a coach so obsessed with winning and a system that everything else takes a backseat. Be it right or wrong, Richt ain't that guy.

How do you know the guy before he gets a fat contract? Golden had a plan too. Was young. Even improved Temple's win record. I'm not saying Richt is the answer, but at the time he was counter to previous hiring practices. At least he was a Power 5 head coach with a winning record.

EXACTLY. That is the point that people on this board are either missing or just don't want to accept.
 
Keep the best in home state players and build around them. We need a no nonsense coach. Miami was built on players with a chip on their shoulders and coaches that knew how and when to push them, reel them in, and more importantly knew when to let them loose. Richt wants to be a mentor only. Admirable if he wasn't our coach. In the words of the GOAT, with Richt, the ceiling is the roof, Richt has plateaued.
 
Every time we switch coaches the players talk about how much better things are. How it's "night and day" and they work so much harder and the expectations are so much higher. And yet, here we are.

The 80's 90's Canes Championships were done under several different Miami coaches.

Urban Meyers like Saban has also won numerous championships. Dabo may win several before he's done

I understand the post and its point.

My point simply is, and as facts and history bear out, .....is that Saban's way is NOT the ONLY way to a championship or dominance

Sabag was no up and comer when he went to Alabaga. Alabaga had been "down" (relatively speaking) for several years before his arrival, but they had a history of championship level success and practically unlimited "resources" that he has taken full advantage of.

Except for the Phins, he's had success anywhere he's been. I'm no Sabag fan by any stretch, but to suggest there are other Sabags out there is a unrealistic. He walked into the perfect situation at the perfect time that fit his style of coaching to a tee. That doesn't happen very often.

Revisionist history. Saban took over after 2006. In 2005, Alabama was 10-2 and finished #8. Let's not act as though he walked into SMU and did this.

Alright so we hire our next coach that will have success like Nick Saban, cool.
 
He is great coach but dont buy into "the process"

Miami won with 3 different head coaches by doing the following
- Recruit the best talent
- Let that same great talent practice against each other --- knowing they are better than anyone else you will play
- Make sure that kids are scared that the "new talent" will take their job if they dont do the work

That ladies is the process --- everything else is smoke ..... just ask the Dolphins

I don't have the solution, but I can sure spot when someone like you is dead wrong. That's why you didn't bother to respond to my last post.

How the **** can I be dead wrong when you don't have a ******* solution? What's your baseline Bro? That makes a **** of a lot of sense. You're nothing but a bull****ter that has no clue as to what the **** you are saying or doing. Go back to your analytical video games you farce.

I totally agree. I was just posting an article on what has made Saban successful. I will guarantee you though that when you compare the styles of successful coaches, there's a lot of more commonalities in their styles than not. MR just isn't there.

I don't know how to do knee surgery, but I know you're wrong if you say to use a hatchet. But that's way over your head. Saying "find the next Saban" is deep, though. You really figured it out.
 
When you say it’s not rocket science what do you mean? There’s exactly one program like that in all of college football. There’s a **** of a lot more rocket scientists than Nick Sabans in the world. So yeah I guess you’re right, it’s much harder than rocket science.

What's your solution Einstein? Look at all your posts, you have none except criticism of others that are looking for solutions. Face it, MR is a ******* flop!!
 
If I were our AD, I would start by doing research on what makes some Head Football Coaches extremely successful at running their Programs. I would start doing that NOW. I would then use that as a baseline of what I'm looking for. It takes time to do this guys. If it was easy every program would be a BAMA, which they are not. Got to start somewhere. Study and follow successful people!! People don't plan to fail. Instead they fail to plan. Did we do our due diligence/planning when we hired Shannon? Golden? Richt? The proof is in the pudding!!

As an example the first year failure rate in the Hospitality Industry is between 98%-99%(Per the BBB statistics). If I wanted to open a new Restaurant, what data would I want to study in order to have the best chance possible at succeeding? I will tell you that personal feelings account for the majority of the 98%-99% failures. What you like is not necessarily what other people will like.
