Most hilarious thing I'll read in a long time! Saban can flash rings, tout his 3 Heisman players, and show a recruit how many HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS his former players have made in the NFL. Saban can also point out that his OCs and DCs were some of the best in the business.
Deion Sanders is in the NFL Hall of Fame, dawg. He's in the College Football Hall of Fame. He can tout his two fricking Super Bowl Rings. He literally appears in the commercials alongside and opposite Saban, he has already been marketed as his peer even by TV conditioning.
And guess what, he is respected enough and would be able to hire "some of the best" OC's and DC's too.
You think it's funny and yet I can point you to dozens of quotes from elite 2023 recruits who can't stop talking about him, and he hasn't even left Jackson State yet. He hasn't even taken a P5 job yet. What do you think would happen if he was named Auburn's HC? Pandemonium, that's what.
You also shouldn't discount the advantage he would have when entering the living room of any black or inner city family. The guy played for both the Atlanta Falcons and the Atlanta Braves - the likelihood of a recruit's father from the state of Georgia having fond memories if not idolizing him in the 90's is very high. You have Travis Williams performing as an elite recruiter from day one coming out of coaching HS and he was a barely known football player. Jackson would be like that on steroids.

I would rather we be in marathon mode not sprint mode. Besides I don’t put much weight into what recruits say cause we all know they do crazy shite.

He would DEFINITELY take the state of Georgia by storm in recruiting.
On a side note, I find it fascinating at how the teams that have recruited Georgia so well have won just about all the Nattys the last 2 decades. Only exceptions being LSU and Ohio St.

quote:Hate to burst your bubble, but being a great player doesn't often translate into being a great, or even good, coach. The opposite in also true. You'd have to be pretty simple minded to pick a guy who was a great player, over a guy with a track record of making good players great. Don't think for a second, that will be pointed out in all those "living rooms".

The bar must be dropped to the floor if you think his OC and DC are "some of the best". quote:

quote:You'd have to be one dumbass father, to push your son to play for a guy you admired for his athletic ability as a player, go to a school with a pretty bad reputation for academics, over a guy who can get you to the NFL, put you on national tv every week, and provide a good education. The difference between Travis Williams and Sanders is, one sells his school and program, the other sells his self. Twitter handled on the back of your gameday coaching gear says it all.
