As opposed to our complete and utter failure position coaches and terrible recruiters?

Saban's got a machine running up there and obviously his methods are working. And formerly high paid, experienced coaches are willing to "intern" in the machine for year. Saban gets Locksley, we get a former HS basketball coach.

Sorry, I trust the coaches

No head coach that's won the titles Saban has is going to benefit from Mike Locksley coming in as an analyst for a year. Yes, he's got the name. Saban will benefit mildly from his name. Locksley however will benefit immensely from taking the position. He gets to spend a year inside the Bama program, learning the system inside and out (at least a lot of good sheet) and literally taking notes. He's basically going to Saban's Football U for a year, all the while building his brand, and getting PAID, however mildly, to do so. Once the season ends with possibly two flashy title rings he'll get a big fat raise as a top tier offensive coordinator or a head coach.

This is the "on deck" positions for coaches at Bammer. Remember they hired Kiffy the same way a couple of months before they fired Nusschamp. Many of their assistants get promoted from "quality control" assistant or analyst positions.

So, HC isn't isn't strong suit.....meaning he must be awesome at something else? Saban must know something.
You realize he coached for us, right? And was one of the best recruiters we have ever had, right?
