re: What is a good cfb coaches process?

what are the major parts of a good process and what could coach O do to emulate coach Sabans process? A good process is the most important part of cfb coaching and many think Orgeron is process challenged if he even has one. He maybe just calls his process a plan. Also using the word 'process' often when talking to the press is very important for high level coaching and I have never once heard Coach O say the word.

HC should coach his coaches.

There's too much to do, you get more "coverage", i.e. more impact on more players, by A) communicating what you want strategically B) expectations on a individual level (that's what position coaches are for) and C) making sure A & B match across the board, with your coaches, to fit the overall plan.

In short, delegate, but with a whole lot of oversight of those delegated too.

If you have 9 other coaches basically coaching like you would, you are having 9X the impact. So instead of coaching 100 players, coach those 9 coaches.

Saban runs a team like a business. Each coach is a "department". You have goals and expectations from each department. It's his job to make each department pull in the same direction that he, the CEO, has decided to go in.

Yes, he does 1 on 1 coaching. All good CEO's do some "management by walking around". However, if he has to chew an individual players arse, his coach is going to get some. The assumption is that if a player has failed, his "department's" coach has ALSO failed.
