you know that Hester has said many times that the norm was for Coach Saban to walk past you in the complex and not even acknowledge you being there. He said normally the only ones Saban ever acknowledged or talked to were the ones in trouble or in danger of being in trouble. If you were good and did all the right things he just ignored you

By handling it this way, when Saban makes it a point to provide some positive reinforcement it is much more impactful, especially publicly--as seen the way he did with his two captains in post game press conference on Monday.

I can believe this. It's the absolute opposite of coddling self-entitled primadonnas to keep them happy and playing.

It's a culture that embraces winning as a team concept, not winning because your superstars are kept fat, happy, and ego-stroked.

And it's also explains why 4 and 5-star players consistently elect to go to Bama and ride the bench for a year or two before they get their shot on the field.

As much as I detest the angry munchkin, props where props are due. And in this case, nobody runs a program better than Saban.

I mean this is very common even in Business, you let your Managers manage their people.

Figured out why his daughter is so crazy, just trying to get Daddy's attention.
