I know it helps sell your program but don't get coaches & schools promoting players in NFL. And you wonder why guys come & have myopic views

Saban is the 1 coach over the yrs that cultivates TEAM & wins CONSISTENTLY while keeping players individual goals alive but not the focus. https://t.co/yejTD1GR0G

In essence, he's saying Saban has a unique ability to cultivate team spirit, develop his players and no one is more important than the team.
That's a tough task.
But Saban's record of success shows he's done it.
