The process that rules college football started at Kent State
We finally had a chance to work our way through Sports Illustrated‘s college football preview issue and the article on teams working to imitate Nick Saban’s success at Alabama caught our eye.
Saban has developed what is known as the Process. According to SI:
In its most basic form, the Process is Saban’s term for concentrating on the steps to success rather than worrying about the end result. Instead of thinking about the scoreboard, think about dominating the man on the opposite side of the line of scrimmage. Instead of thinking about a conference title, think about finishing a ninth rep in the weight room. Instead of thinking about graduating, think about writing a great paper for Intro to Psych.
And it all started at Kent State, where Saban played and coached under Don James, the last coach to lead the Golden Flashes to a bowl game.
