Seriously, how does Saban do it?

[TexasExes98]

Since 2008, he's brought in the #1 recruiting class every year except in '10. How does he do it? I don't think there has ever been a coach that could recruit like Saban. Not Bowden, Paterno, Osborne, Spurrier, etc. hell, Mack Brown pulled in the #1 ranked class only one time while at Texas. The only coach that came close to being a master recruiter like that was Pete Carroll and we all know what happened to USC eventually. What's even more impressive is Saban is pulling the best athletes from around the country.

Saban also appears to be a major prick, but he could be totally different behind closed doors for all I know. Just looks like a guy players would hate to play for. Looks like he has the #1 recruiting class so far for 2015. Just amazing and unheard of.....

It has nothing to do with Saban. Back in 2007 I made a personal deal with the devil and he has really came through.

it is pretty amazing. Especially since young people are so fickle. I mean, no 'cool' uniform options, no DJ's or celebrities hanging around, etc.


I'm hoping Charlie Strong can start to get the same rep: come here, I'll develop you, make you tougher and put you in the NFL.

We're Alabama. All we do is cheat.

You happy?

He will. I've got as much confidence in Strong as I do in any other coach in football. - He's legit.

I don't know if Osborne had ever even had a top 10 class.

^^^^THIS right here. In the era of fancy unis and swag helicopters, Saban doesn't give two shits about that. He's still pulling in #1 classes.

1. He's Nick fucking Saban
2. He's coaching Alafuckingbama
3. He fucking wins championships
4th reason not needed

that does pretty much sum it up, doesn't it.

It's really just like how kids flock to Kentucky to play basketball now.

It's the cool thing to do. That's how kids are. They couldn't give a shit less about anything other than what's the cool thing to do right now.

 

[Jack_John_Mark]

There will be 5 guys sitting on Kentucky's bench for the next few years who could have went and competed for a Title at another school but they'd rather just say they were on Kentucky's team.

Cuz it's cool.

 

[huskers1217]

yeah but Kentucky embraces the one and done theme.

And Tuscaloosa doesn't have beaches either.

What did recruiting have to do with what happened?
