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 will say... a professional team ive followed since the 90s is going with a complete rebuild rt now. the coach, with groans from fans, pretty much pushed all the big high earning stars out and any one who wouldnt get on board. The first season sucked, but the team is much better for it now and playing much better with younger inspired talent who buy in.

He basically told any of the older players from the last regime to get fricked, even if that meant losing his job. The past coaches would go out and just find a big overpaid star to stack on top of the other overpaid losers and you end up going no where.
