re: Ryan Clark on Playing for Saban

Yes, Saban is a great coach, but you don't have to be a complete a-hole douchebag to get points across like Saban does. His temper and blowups are not the reason he or his teams have success.

You can chew someone's arse out from time to time within reason, but Saban is an excessive a-hole with it.

I'm getting off subject but it grinds my gears when people act like coaches need to mimic all of Saban's characteristics to be good coaches. Being an a-hole is not a prerequisite to coaching success. Saban just happens to be a great coach who is also a supreme a-hole.
