as far as arrangement of coaching talents...
Frost is a hands on coach- even donning equipment at one point this season pretending to be that week's opposition 'option' QB... it doesn't get more hands on than that, and i wager is players responded accordingly "he's one of us" in a Big Brother role...
Saban is a stand and review coach- micromanages his coordinators "let me see the drill... no, run it some more, when you've got it right come back to me" and is quick to dress down someone on the staff... I rarely see him go after players.
Meyer is a father figure "do it this way and trust the wisdom of that to me"- engaged in seeing his players succeed from right above them not one person removed.
Les Miles was a "I'll trust you when the chips are down" type.
i think the point i'm trying to make is in each instance the players trusted the coach, and more importantly the coach trusts the players. practice is when you ride the players w/o mercy and to the point of almost breaking them- a game is when you cut them loose to show off what they've learned... it's almost 'hands off' except to the point of correction. successful coaches, no matter their style or which side of the ball their expertise resides all share this. those who have trouble lack trust- either giving or gaining.
