He sounded more like a Drill Instructor. I love it.
Allowing the 'all-access' was a brilliant move by Saban. What a great recruiting tool.
Also, I think CNS having the offense load up on the defense during practice, putting up 700 yards passing and umpteen touchdowns really got their attention.
That, along with the team leaders calling that meeting, was a calculated move to get all that talent on 'D' to man-up and work harder before the season starts.
As I think about it, what initially seemed like a reason for concern (all those yards/points given up) now seems like a brilliant strategy on the part of CNS.
The guy knows how to coach (understatement).
