Nick Saban’s most underrated characteristic, adaptability

After four National Championships and four SEC Championships, Nick Saban is essentially royalty in Alabama. Perhaps more important is the context of his winning ways. If you don’t recall, let me hold your hand as we take a stroll down memory lane.
