Even after having all the young recruiters on staff last season and bringing in the top-ranked signing class for 2019, Nick Saban still felt like something was missing.
He had the players, a dynamic style of offense and high prized recruiters; however, Alabama failed at execution in the College Football Playoff National Championship versus Clemson.
Sometimes one has to revert back to what made it great and for Saban, he thoroughly knows Crimson Tide football sells itself. What the team lacked in 2018 was sound coaching.
It was teachers such as Kirby Smart, Jeremy Pruitt, Jeff Stoutland, Bo Davis and Sal Sunseri that not only prepared student-athletes physically, but each one also did a strong job mentally in keeping everyone in order.
