Quote "These teams are very similar," Brando said. "Both have great defenses, both have a strong commitment to running the football. Both want to win the power game and wear down the opposition in the fourth quarter. There are striking similarities to how these teams play. But you could not find two coaches whose approaches to the game are any more contrasting than Saban and Miles." 6 days to go.

Saban tries to take the pressure off his players by his business-like approach, and by breaking down the hugeness of the game into smaller components. Do your job, play each play, intensity in 5 second bursts, etc. Les takes the opposite approach, agreeing that it is a big game and should be "fun," thereby hoping to deflate anxiety with enjoyment and anticipation. So Saban dissects and Les embraces. Quote But you could not find two coaches whose approaches to the game are any more contrasting than Saban and Miles." 6 days to go. |
