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?

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.
