re: The closest pre-LSU Saban resume out there is...

Yeah, everybody seems to believe Saban invented the "process," but it's been around in many ways for a very long time. Saban doesn't come up with it all on his own, he takes from business leader, coaches, sports psychologists, etc. Nothing about it is new, Saban just does it better than anyone else.

I think Saban's biggest factor in his success is his singular, constant, frenetic focus and drive. It's not normal in any way. I don't know if it really brings him fulfillment or happiness, but it's sure brought him a lot of championships.
