Good article PB, thanks. I've seen similar, but not this quote from Saban before:

"Well, when Marino's throwing it, that old break on the ball shit don't work."

You look at and try to understand some of those coverages, and wonder if it isn't someone named Asperger and not Arnsparger that came up with the coverages and system.
