Napier utilizes 85% of Saban's "Process"

I found this old article that describes how he came in and shook things up at ULL.
Sports Illustrated 2018 article on Napier
If Napier comes in here, and makes some solid staff hires... I wouldn't be mad. We'd get the Saban Assistant curse, though that couldn't be worse than current.

It’s all part of The Process, but it’s known here as something else: The Journey. “Alabama says, ‘The Process Begins Here,’” Napier says. “We say, ‘The Journey Starts Here.’”
Napier says about 85% of what he is implementing in Lafayette is in the image of Saban’s program, but he has put his own twist on some items. He breaks up the calendar into eight phases: Foundation (the first two weeks of January), Identity (pre-spring training), Spring Practice, Discretionary (exams and exit meetings), Regimen (summer training), Fall Camp, In-Season and Postseason.
This winter’s workouts mimicked the Fourth Quarter Program that Saban crafted in his days at LSU with longtime Tigers strength coach Tommy Moffitt. Groups of a dozen players moved through four stations in a test of their conditioning, strength and endurance. Head strength coach Mark Hocke spent six seasons on Saban’s staff, moving from an intern who slept on other coaches’ couches to an associate strength staff member who parlayed his success to jobs with Georgia, Texas A&M and Florida State. “We’re cut from the same cloth,” Hocke says, “from that organization in Tuscaloosa.”

Aranda uses 100% focus as Saban does.

Sounds like when a coach who copied someone else and implemented tell the truth mondays
Napier:Saban::Orgeron:pete Carroll

I can’t believe none of the failed Saban assistant coaches have thought to try to copy Sabans processes. Yep. Napier is the chosen one.

Does that mean he will go 10-2 each year since he’s not using 100% of the process?

What does this really even mean?

ULL buys Dodge Chargers too?

O and Derek copied and pasted Pete Carroll’s book, slapped it in a binder, and put their names on it

If the 15% he doesn't use is Pete Golding, I'd love to have him at Alabama some day

I wish this narrative would end
All coaches, and really any profession, learn from previous jobs
He shouldn’t be hyping that he is using the Alabama process. Just say you have a way of doing things and let the results speak for themselves

It works if you can recruit 5 and 4 star talent
Saban's secret is having better players than everyone else then getting the most out of them...no none sense
it's rocket science
but you have to load the barn with studs, and Saban does it better than anyone

He would be a horrible hire

10-2 every year sounds pretty good at the moment.

It like a cookbook. I can use Donald Links recipe exactly and make a good dish. But it won’t be the same as the chef’s.

At worst he's a bust, at best he's a total experiment, judging Woodward specifically by his previous hires, he doesn't do experiments and he doesn't do busts.

When comparing Orgeron copying Carroll and Napier copying Saban there’s a difference.
The difference is Carroll’s process has been outdated for college for quite some time and even the NFL over the last half decade. I’m a Seahawks fan as well, I would know.

Nah man, Challenger. 85% of what the Charger is.

Didn't he just say on Jordy's show that he is 70% Saban?
