Saban can have any assistant in the country . Saban specifically hired Cristobal. Saban specifically assigned Cristobal to all those 4 and 5 stars. I wonder why .....
I wonder why that alone hasn't translated to one instance of your hearing his name connected to even an interview for a HC job anywhere then? It's not like coaches don't get jobs on perceived recruiting abilities everyday. And please spare me the "Maybe he wasn't interested?" schtick that the Radio apologists trot out too. Again, the openings he's connected to are at best lateral POSITION CORCHING spots.
I never said Cristobal is a elite coach. I personally don't think he is.
I say Cristobal is elite recruiter. Isay Saban trusts Cristobal with recruiting elite player.
Alabama plucks whoever they want from South Florida
They've only wanted to pluck 4 guys from South Florida in 4 years?
I would say Bama gets whoever they want from SOuth Florida, but South florida is not a top priority for them like state of Alabama. Bama has taken jeudy, cowan, safety from boyd anderson, ridley , becker.
Who is last recruit Bama really wanted from South Florida but didn't get ? Probably Chad thomas a few years back. (
I say they slow played Richards last year.)
