Actually I think CFB benefits the Belichick type more than the Saban type now. Saban's #1 quality was his ability to recruit monstrous teams. Now? If a kid's unhappy, he's in the portal and gone. Kid gets a better offseason contract offer? He's in the portal and gone. College football offseasons are much closer to NFL free agency than the old days of recruiting. Kids are looking for money above all else. Saban saw the writing on the wall and wisely dipped.
