Now compare them after that period.
Not a problem. Saban arrives at a SEC school with long history of buying recruits in a talent rich state famous for food and corruption. Ole Nick had found his home. Wins NC.
Nick make mistake to go the NFL where the "recruiting" are actually limited and cannot be used on everyone coming into eligibility. Nick finds out life within rules is not for him. Runs back to crime-ridden SEC where rules are not a problem. This time he goes to the mother lode of cash payments Bama. Nick flourishes once again in the biggest house in his homeland. Wins 3 NCs and runs the second biggest cheater out of town. Unfortunately of Ole St Nick, said cheater found a even nicer home where the whole conference just gets out of the way the mighty OSU. Urban then rains or Nick's parade.
Nick, no longer able to be the biggest cheater, runs back to NFL to coach Andrew Luck. Hoping to do better this time. Oh wait, that's tomorrows news.
Hey Nick is a good coach, but he must cheat to win. Period.
