Saban, Meyer, Harbaugh, Fleck... what do they all have in common - Hoekjeness - 12-18-2014 06:18 PM Interesting read from Grantland on why Harbaugh should take the Michigan job... There was a part about half-way through that got me thinking about Fleck, and explains why guys like Saban, Meyer, and Harbaugh are sort of "brilliant freaks". Quote:The greatest college coaches aren’t criticized for their year-round paranoia and micromanaging, they’re deified for them. This GQ profile of Nick Saban is every bit as psychotic as the Wickersham profile — they are essentially the same article — except the Saban piece comes with without any questions about his job security. The same goes for this Wright Thompson profile of Urban Meyer.
