I'd love to hear his pitch before they were great.
Probably that he coached in the NFL and won a NC with LSU. Mostly bags though.

I wish he had actually said that (the car part). I would love to hear the NCAA excuse afterwards. Something like...I don't think they love his West Virginian Croatian demeanor. But he f'in wins. How does 300k and a great chance to go the league sound to some hood kid from Broward? Probably pretty **** good.
What if I told you his son is the assistant GM at his dealership? Nick Jr playing his part in the bag game.I wish he had actually said that (the car part). I would love to hear the NCAA excuse afterwards. Something like...
“Our team of august investigators have thoroughly researched the alleged infractions over a period of time that lasted no less than twelve hours, and have determined that Coach Saban was merely referring recruits to a local car dealership (Saban Automotive) that has excellent deals and fantastic, quality vehicles. We actually recommend it too, given its quality.”
Someday, somehow it will happen to even Alabama. Enough of the players will start to believe in their own invincibility just because they put on the uniform. And don’t tell me the coaching staff won’t allow it...that constantly rotating cast of characters will one day create the conditions that breed it. And when that happens, Alabama is going to be upset. Just like Ive seen happen to Miami in 1993 or 2006, or Texas in 2010.
This is what I was thinking. There's no question that what he has done with getting them and keeping them where they are has been incredible, but there was nothing special about that pitch. He's got the reputation and results (which he earned) that he can just state facts with no charisma. And even now, if he went somewhere else, he would be able to point to what Alabama did while he was there.Yeah he just listed off his accomplishments. I'd love to hear his pitch before they were great.
Me too.Hopefully it happens Sept 2021
Numbers and facts don’t lie. He ain’t **** unless he has a massive talent advantage.Saban was at LSU 5 years and he averaged 3 losses per season. He had one great 13-1 year and won the championship in 2003. In 2004 he went 8-5, lost his bowl and ended ranked 16th before bailing to the NFL. There's a reason he was significantly better at Alabama and it's not skills he picked up during failed tenure with the Fins.
Maybe or maybe not, but he has proven he can get the talent and maximize it. Are there bags helping that - I am sure, but Alabama is not the only school where that is going on and no other school has been able to be as consistently good as Alabama for this long of a stretch in the modern era.Numbers and facts don’t lie.

I know......best bag game in history will get you that. **** them. I have no respect for them.Maybe or maybe not, but he has proven he can get the talent and maximize it.

i agree. he is willing to do things other coaches wont. at the same time, if miami did half the stuff in recruiting he did, they'd be on probation. The NCAA and ESPN turn a blind eye to any school not named USC or Miami (SMU also felt this) because those small town economies rely on the football programs so muchThe slurping and discrediting are equally pathetic.
