saban aint working 20 hours a day that's bs flat out. I know that for a fact. You want guys that think sleep and eat football 24 hours a day. Guys like bain, sean taylor, scott who slept at the building but to think someone is going to work an actual 20 hours a day is just crazy.
The reality is if sapp didn't want to be 100% committed in whatever capacity that took which some days may be longer then others then he didn't need to be here.
I didn't say that Saban himself worked like that, but I bet you that the expectation was that his staff would grind and put in the work. I bet you that the analysts and the other lower end staff were putting in that kind of work, and Saban expected all of his assistants to be prepared, and the ONLY way you can consistently meet that standard is to put in the time.
I know that people believe that Cignetti found some cheat code, but when you look at how his teams are constructed(mostly older guys, so he can run his practices like NFL practices, considering that most of those guys are as old as NFL guys), it explains how he can manage his program that way. For everyone else, you have to put in significant time, a high end program is a 24 hour per day operation, because SOMEONE is always going to be working, someone is always going to be watching film, going over evals.
