The more interesting question I have about the early days of Saban is who he had blackmailed from the SEC and NCAA offices to start dropping bags for annual recruiting riches? He got those classes rolling at a time when the NCAA still thought they had nuts and were laying infractions for secondary recruiting violations.. meanwhile, Nick was playing with greyshirt scholarships.

You can see the same trend with Smart when he took the reigns from Richt. Fortunately, as more programs figure out how NIL actually works, dropping bags for recruits won't matter as much.

I'm not saying things didn't happen that happened everywhere else (Lance Thompson was on that staff), but you're fricking crazy if you don't think Nick Saban didn't live and breathe recruiting, and drill the importance of it into every single person on campus the day he arrived.

He may be the greatest coach, but he is 100% the most ruthless and efficient recruiter that has ever existed, and that wasn't handed to him by anyone else in any office, anywhere.

Your inferiority complex is showing, again.

Meanwhile, during this new BAMA regime, Baylor football was providing the world with a lawsuit that alleged That 31 Baylor football players committed 52 acts of rape in four years. Go Baylor Bears!!!
