The landscape has changed greatly due to NIL

Recruiting from High School or the portal now comes with $$$. Now the organization has to deal with a GM type, and a money manager with a budget.

But the basics stay the same. The new coach will have to have Saban characteristics, hands on working through his staff but must still have the cojones to tell non coaches, big money boosters, athletic directors, elected officials, etc. I am the coach and you ain't. Get out of my way, stop interfering or you can find someone else.
