re: When we got Saban from Michigan State what stood out about him?

I recall it and it was out of the blue for me and others.

Coming from Michigan state was unusual for one. Saban was not a name we knew very well either.

Then I started listening to radio reports about him with people from Michigan weighing in and it started to sink in that we had a solid coach. At the time, I had some connections at LSU and they were telling me about all of the demands Saban made on them to hire assistants and change offices and workout facilities etc and how people were getting annoyed but it was worth it. He had dozens of assistants and advisors. He was organized like nothing they had ever seen.

He literally changed the program
