SABAN SHOWS HIS STUFF

As the rumor/theory goes in NFL circles, Nick Saban didn’t like running a team at the pro level because the talent was relatively comparable from team to team, making it much harder to win games.Saban became a coaching star at the college level not by game-planning or by making brilliant in-game adjustments, but by recruiting superior athletes.With his first full year to persuade players to come to Alabama in the books, Saban is showing why he’s so much better in the NCAA game than he ever could have been as a pro coach.The Crimson Tide is, as of this posting, leaving a Crimson Streak on the Georgia Dome floor with the Clemson, leading the top-ten Tigers by 21 points with plenty of time still to play. Sure, Clemson could pull off a stunning comeback. But we don’t suggest betting on it. The Tide look to be moving in the right direction, and Saban seems poised to scale the SEC all over again on his way to putting together a national-championship program. It might take a couple of years to happen, but happen is apparently will.
