Saban

The Making of a Coach

De: Monte Burke

Narrado por: Barry Abrams

As the head coach of the University of Alabama's football team, Nick Saban is perhaps the most influential - and controversial - man in the sport. Unpredictable in his professional loyalties, uncompromising in his vision, and unyielding in his pursuit of perfection, the highest-paid coach in college football has changed the face of the game. His program-building vision has delivered packed stadiums, rabid fans, legions of detractors, countless NFL draft picks, and a total of four national championships, including three in the last five years. Though a great deal is known about Nick Saban the coach, not much is known about Nick Saban the man. Through unprecedented interviews with more than 250 friends, coworkers, rivals, former players, and others, Monte Burke reveals the defining moments of the coach's life. He discusses Saban's rapid and at times rocky ascent up the assistant coaching ranks; his complicated relationship with one of his coaching mentors, Bill Belichick; the birth of his now-famous "process"; his dramatic and controversial departures from three different high-profile football teams; and much more. Saban paints a portrait of a complex and compelling man, fundamentally shaped by both his past and the game he loves, in a way that no previous book has.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"[A] genuinely insightful look at a fierce competitor who nevertheless seems to care for his players both on and off the field." ( Booklist)

Great story. Very interesting highly recommend

Really good story, not really about the process about his journey. Great narrator must get for football inthuest

Narrator is awful.

Whoever hired the guy who narrated this book should be fired. He was awful. He tried to make every southern coach sound like a giant redneck moron. It took everything I had to not turn this off 20 times. His Saban accent was so insulting and degrading. Awful!!!

Terrible southern accent but good story

I can overlook his horrible southern accent imitation and listen to a good story. There was lots of information about Saban's life with Alabama that I had no idea about. It was a very good story & very informative.

The GOAT

Great listen on Coach Saban! As an Alabama fan i truly enjoyed it and recommend it.

Highly Recommend

Really enjoyed the story. So many interesting details about Saban's past. The narrator did a fine job, but the different voices and accents were hard to listen to at times.
