In reply to: Saban works them to death posted by Hanratty5ND
They had a recruiting meeting with all the coaches the very next morning. He is very demanding of his assistants.
Williams coached for Saban at LSU, Miami, and Alabama. Apparently they reconnected after Williams was fired by MSU.
I read that the MSU coaches were offered jobs at MSU, but only if they all stayed. That may have played a role in the plane going back to Baton Rouge without them.
I have also heard stories that match yours about Saban’s work requirements for his coaches.
I used to see him on the sidelines a lot.
Now listed as special teams coordinator at Oregon.
Still can’t believe Davie lost to MSU 5 straight years. The loss in 2000 still pisses me off. Dillingham to Battle in 2002 was nice revenge though.
