Saban is the GOAT because of many things. But, my observation is that he shares many attributes of great leaders - whether in the military, business, or coaching. 1) he was not friends and never wanted to be friends with his employees; 2) he adapted (handing over the reigns/philosophy to innovative offensive minds when his philosophy was no longer as successful); and 3) he was willing to make changes clinically and coldly - including firing people quickly - things that had to be done - based on evidence - for the greater good. Kirby has an opportunity to step into this next level of leadership. I really hope he can make that next step.
