... but I've always gotten the sense with Saban that his coaching choices have always had a lot less to do with him being able to "influence" younger players than being unable to control professionals who can simply shut his routine out.
Saban is a great, great college coach. No two ways about it. But inflexible. That doesn't wash well in the pro game. Especially, today's pro game. His players at LSU and Michigan State and Alabama, methinks, fear(ed) Saban.
Pros don't have to.
Nah its a known fact in most circles that Saban likes "molding" young men.
I'm sure you could find it in his own words all over the internet.
