It’s just a different world..the Bobby Knight Bear Bryant Woody Hayes three coaches I respect had a way of coaching that ran it’s course. I remember Bear linebacker of the 60-70’s Doug Buffone saying he would have loved playing for Knight. BUT he would never recommend his son playing for him. Now it seems the Urban’s, Kelly, and even Saban may be nearing there eras end. Day Campbell Riley seem like the new era.
I think his coaching methods have softened over the years. And like every other aspect of the way he runs Bama, he has learned to adapt. No way do some of the kids he's gotten stay, if he's treating them in the same manner as coaches of old.
