Title: College coaching, not the NFL, is the perfect fit for Saban, Petrino
Post by: pmull on September 23, 2011, 09:15:45 AM
It's because the National Football League is a players' league and college is a coaches' game where players are beholden to the head coach. It's safe to say that "control freak" has been applied as modifier to Saban, Petrino and Spurrier.

NFL coaches yield to their players' egos. In college, entire states yield to coaches' egos.

"We love college coaching," Saban often says.

"This is the place I want to be, I'm very happy," Petrino said last spring.
