Simply put, being a football coach isn’t for everybody.
You purchased that right.
Because you don’t have what it takes.
And above all else, total dedication.
Because to truly be great in that profession means not having a life.
Coaching IS your life.
And soul, if you have one.
(It’s not a job requirement.)
It takes you to be … A Football Guy.
And there is no better example of that than Nick Saban.
Boys, there are some screwed-up people in the world, he said, according to the book.
Now, what are we going to do when were in Cover Two against these routes?
Saban later apologized for having his head in the sand to a newspaper as the attacks were unfolding.
To anyone who respects the demands placed upon A Football Guy, no apology was necessary.
To those who don’t none will suffice.
But he’s a man of singular focus.
In this example, he could control how he could attack Auburn splitting their safeties.
Finding Post routes that exploit their MOFO coverages.
Like it was his job.
Which it most definitely was.
So that laser focus in early September was not in vain.
Those coaching points stuck.
Which is just one more reason he’s the best that there’s ever been at the college level.
Proving once again, Football Guys are just built different.
