In studying what makes Saban different than most power 5 head coaches is his attention to models/systems. He sees his football program like a CEO not a coach. He can have any level of talent come through and get repeated high results.

This aspect is what has exposed Coach O. He never created a system of excellence that everyone must follow no matter the talent. When the great talent leaves he is now exposed…talent is never scalable or reproducible.

Btw, Coach O is not alone in this. Most coaches in power five live and die with talent not a system of high accountability.

From what I see, Napier brings this high level thinking to LSU and would finally have access to top level resources.

I truly hope Woodward hires a business man not just a coach.

Can he? How many non-top 3 recruiting classes has he had? I’d say what makes Saban different than most coaches is more often than not he has the #1 recruiting class and when he doesn’t, he’s top 3. Obviously he excels in other areas, but stockpiling talent at every position is his most important skill.

I don't think he is at the top of their list, but he is on their list. I watched the game last night. UL is very well coached.

I like Napier as a coach. He does make some questionable decisions. He damned near cost ULL vs App St last year. That game should have been no where close.

He has ULL turned around and a totally legit program.

If we don't get a splash hire, he would be a very good choice and a clear improvement over what we have now.
