Dr. Kevin Elko to Coach Saban "It's time to reinvent and rebuild the whole thing..."

Dr. Elko is the most popular motivational speaker requested by sports teams. Saban has used him A LOT over the years. He was on Finebaum today and FBomb asked him what is going on at Alabama. He said he talked to Nick after the Sugar Bowl and they talked. He said he told Nick it might be time to "Reinvent and rebuild the entire thing...." at Alabama. He said it seems the things Nick has done to get his teams up and ready have become stale. He didn't say Saban specifically said "Yeah I agee." But he implied that Saban agreed with him. Interesting interview.

I'm sure the man is good at what does, but he reminds me a little too much of Joel Osteen.

How many times will it take me saying this for people to understand: it isn't that 11-2 is bad, its how the 2 were loss that Saban didn't like.

Not a completely surprising take. It was obvious from several games this year that motivation was difficult. If anyone can reinvent how to motivate players and get the most out of them, it's Saban.

How realistic is it that Saban will really "rebuild the whole thing?" It isn't that easy. I think there will be changes next year but there are too many other things which will stop a huge defensive change (new qb, etc).

To be clear, this appears to relate to motivation, leadership, discipline, moral, etc. and not technical changes to football schemes, formations, etc. which are discussed in multiple other threads already.
