Your question engages in logical fallacy. There are many things in his statement that are not said. I am focusing on what he DID say.

Saban specifically says that if you emphasize the old principles of running the ball &playing good defense that "you aren't going to win anything".

He also specifically says that "you have to score fast" which clearly means emphasizing the big play passing game - which he did.

Iy was those big plays that put Alabama up early on opponents, and then he ran the ball and the clock thereafter.

Is running no longer important at all? Of course not. But is it the primary emphasis as in the past? Not among the teams that want to win a NC.

The problem here for you is clearly that this revelation challenges your world view. Adapt or die.
