Saban has guys like that in all the time. He's had Bob Stoops, Lane Kiffin (pre OC days), Urban Meyer, Mike Leach and several other high profile coaches in to give feedback. He's hired coaches as analysts that most wouldn't touch and several of those have high profile jobs in college ball and the NFL as I type this.

What bewilders me is on every Auburn board there are 5 threads dedicated to this topic and they are just trashing Saban. Auburn fans are quick to trash any method employed by the Alabama coach even though he is getting the results that they yearn for. If I was in y'alls shoes I would be demanding that Gus start following the example and doing something different.

It's funny, the guy either wins or plays for the Natty every year and wins 98.5% of his games but his methods are questioned. He's obviously doing something right.
