Billy Napier's blueprint to building Florida into a championship contender
"Going behind the curtain and studying what Saban built taught him three valuable lessons about a large and well-structured staff, he says: the "compound effect of well-defined roles" and how it leads to efficiency in all areas of the organization; how that efficiency and ability to delegate tasks to lower-level staff frees up coaches to have a better work-life balance, which improves performance; and how a large staff helps manage attrition among assistant coaches by either providing a pool of internal candidates or by supporting outside hires as they get up to speed. "
Swamp Donkey: Some people mocked big staffs at Ugly and Bammer, but the reality is the jobs have gotten so damn big that you must do that to be prepared and competed.
As much as I dislike his "slow-the-game-down" and time of possession offensive philosophies, these are the good things that Slingblade brings to our team, for good, win or lose. At least we are finally mimicking the good part of Alabama. Hiring Chimp and Butterteeth didn't do that, at all.
Could you imagine difference between interviewing Napier and Butters? "The compound effect of well defined roles" obviously a guy who studies organizational management vs a guy who is too lazy to wear socks and talks about spreading the peanut butter to the edge.
If you listened to that podcast by Zack Smith to hear the parts about him calling Mullen a bitch, it is also worth listening to him talking about Urban. He still loves him as much as you do and he talked about how Urban may have been passed up just a bit in Xs and Os but he was elite in organization. He studied those people (like Nike, Underarmour, Musk) etc much more than he studied other coaches Xs and Os. I kind of agree, you can hire someone to do the Xs and Os for cheap.
