Nick Saban Gives Advice to Matt Eberflus on coaching Caleb Williams | Hard Knocks 2024

[@357cigg]

Transactional vs transformational leadership. Giving Flus some serious game. I love how receptive Flus is, too. He’s the head coach, but he’s still a student. That’s how you build culture.

[@luisrobles8508]

Love what swift told him at the end. “You got the keys to this. Drive.”

[@ronaldgilman9034]

@@luisrobles8508 I love when Swift told Flus get Montez out of practice after he hit CW.

[@ernestogastelum9123]

thats a common thing to say when you take a leadership type job

[@Thatfantasyfootballchick]

Saban and Belichick should host a show going around to different football teams - pro, college, high school, arena - they just know so much

[@smartalexander]

I watched the HBO show where Saban and Bellichick had dinner on camera. I came away impressed with Nick and not so impressed by Bill tbh. Watching Bill not win without Brady showed us something about the type of coach Bill is IMO.

@@smartalexander at the same time - Nick saban was never successful in the NFL either. I think college coaches are great, but we haven’t seen a lot of examples of a coach from college to NFL & being successful. In college there’s definitely a skill gap with top schools obviously getting top recruits. This is not the case in the NFL. Teams are not outright out match based on star player etc. You got some bad teams of course, but the teams are intentionally gimped like in college.

[@smartalexander]

@@FFx16459 true. he was 15-17. I would love to see a conversation with Nick Saban, Pete Carroll, and any coach who has done college and pros to hear their perspective.

Then tag along with hall of famers for each position sometimes

[@joe.c.]

Saban is the man!

[@harpninjamike]

Thanks for posting this. I loved this part of the episode. Saban gave so much good information!

[@PhiferFootball]

Thank you :) please sub and like for more!!

[@nashfaulk]

this isn't advice on how to coach caleb williams - this is wisdom on EXCELLENCE and LEADERSHIP.

[@jeffhytoff003]

Thank you! Post the full episode pretty please!🙏

[@PhiferFootball]

Can’t do that lol but sub for more!:)

[@jackkegzzvidz]

Earned my sub! Seeing saban was a breath of fresh air.

[@TheBearGrappler]

Nick did this with Tua. Brian Flores did the opposite.

[@WestCoastCheeseHead]

Yea fr Brian Flores is a great DC and I think he can be a good HC in the league but he can’t be doing and saying what he was saying to Tua, not even Nick was doing that to him and we all know Saban is a hard ass but he doesn’t bash his players he tells them how they can be better even when he is cursing and yelling at them

[@ikGREENY]

I got trust in Caleb cmon boys LETS GO BEAR DOWN!

[@deathmachineusa2689]

wow .

[@abrotronic]

Excellent clips my man. Any chance you can post the one with the Bulls theme song overlayed? I think that was easily a highlight of episode 1. Thanks!

[@TheBearGrappler]

Nick needs to come get his boy Bryce from the situation hes in, and build him back up,

[@dlsneedslove]

don't want to repeat what happened with Fields...

[@Gabe-yd8ru]

lol I remember saban was pretty negative towards mccarron when he yelled and smack the shit out his ass 🤣

[@steviehandsome4712]

Because saban has produced sooooo many elite nfl QBs

[@Cadburystephenson]

@@steviehandsome4712 tua and jalen hurts are pretty succesful

[@trentongardner2106]

@@Cadburystephenson gonna have to wait to see about those. Lots of qbs have had good years. Some have have even won the superbowl, but until show me they can win a game when it's all on them in the spot where their team actually has real competition. I won't say they're that good. Hurts had a good season. Coaches adjusted. The eagles were the best team in the league the year they lost. Had the most talent anyways. They coasted to the superbowl. Jalen never had any real pressure. The chiefs were the closest in talent to them, and still imo weren't really close. Pat just played like an all time great, and won them the game. Jalen had the chances to do that in that game and most of last year. Including the playoffs. He wasn't able to. Same thing with Tua, but hasn't made it anywhere in the playoffs.

[@mixa7039]

Bama didn't focus on elite QB play until 2015-16, then they got jalen, tua, and mac jones in the span of 8 years. Only school that did more from 2016-2023 was maybe Oklahoma

[@MeCanik79]

It's crazy that Mac and Tua came in together in the 2017 class and Mac never transferred. He got a DUI during his freshman year. The mugshot looked so stupid 😂 He was crying when they took the pic. But, he stayed and worked his way out of Saban's doghouse. In 2020, I was so glad he stayed.

[@Musikloveful]

Just give him nail polish and pat on the head. Thats it!

[@MrDjnolte]

Saban provides boiler plate cliches we already know. High expectations can cause issues? Wow...such insight! 😂

[@jayanthkumar7964]

How many times did the team you coached ended up beating 'Bama? oh wait.

[@MrDjnolte]

​@@jayanthkumar7964lol. My statement is still accurate

[@jonosay854]

😂🤣💯

[@Servozz]

you sound like an auburn fan?

[@MrDjnolte]

​@@Servozznot a college football fan. I know Saban is a great coach. I was simply commenting on what he said to Eberflus....which was standard stuff everyone knows.

[@JohnSmith-tk7nt]

Didnt Saban completely fail miserably in the NFL? I can see why his opinions would be important here

[@Jroc90903]

Not very educated are you

[@JohnSmith-tk7nt]

@@Jroc90903 Please educate me. Didnt he have a losing record in the NFL? Hes never produced a QB thats won a super bowl or done anything remotely successful in the NFL. Please educate me bud

[@jayanthkumar7964]

Typical of a no-picture, no name account spouting shit about one of the most successful leaders the sport has seen.

[@ronaldgilman9034]

Most championships 😮😮😮😮😮😮

[@thecrazies4587]

This is operational and mentality advice that transcends the football field.

[@sinisterdrip]

You’re telling me that nick saban was there and they didn’t offer him a contract?
