re: Bama Football Tidings

Let me say the MAIN themes were in general:

Quantify what success at any given point looks like

Hire Entreprenuars for lead roles and turn them loose (Avoid excessive rules; good people will innovate for you)(Bad people will always expose themselves)

Listen and Observe what others in the industry are doing. Ask/find out how they accomplished it, then Do EXACTLY THAT, replicate it. (don't reinvent the wheel)

He used to tell me he graduated from college with a C+ average. He'd also say he never invented anything in his life but had always been pretty good at hiring smart people and replicating/exceeding the success of others. Which was very true for him.
