I have to admit I have found the reaction to Alabama’s most recent coaching hire a bit comical.
While many pundits knocked the hire, I chose to sit back and ponder. Here is what I’ve come up with: Nick Saban runs Alabama’s offense, defense, special teams, recruiting and possibly the janitorial department. Hiring an offensive coordinator or any coach will never be a program changer as long as Saban is coaching in Tuscaloosa.
ESPN analyst Paul Finebaum said Saban was “settling” when he hired Brian Daboll and I certainly understand that side of the argument.
