The "analysts".

There has not been one iota of proof that these people do ANYTHING to make the team better.

They don't, not inherently.

If you were a crappy coach before having analysts, you'll be a crappy coach with analysts.

Saban's results far predate him building these huge shadow staffs. He likely realized that he needed to reduce the time burden of game preparation as he gets up there in age. All he's doing is outsourcing the work that he used to do himself.

If you weren't already crunching numbers and employing advanced analysis then analysts aren't going to be of great utility to you.
