Les Miles has just as much time in the day and resources at hand to sign the quality players that Bama does.
Here's a good article...

The most “economical” football team in the SEC for 2011, with football expenses of $21,492,741 (Seventh in the SEC), is Louisiana State University. Yup, one of the top teams in the country in the top college football conference in America is in the bottom half of the SEC in terms of football expenses. With their 8-0 record in the SEC, they paid approximately $2,686,592.63 per win. That’s $461,455.66 less than the second place University of Georgia (7-1) who paid $3,148,048.29 per win out of their operating expenses of $22,036,338.00.
How about the BCS National Champion Alabama Crimson Tide? They check in at almost two million dollars more per win than their championship game foe, LSU. The cash register for the University of Alabama (7-1) rings a total of $31,580,059.00 spent on football in 2010-2011, which would equate to $4,511,437.00 per win in 2011.

The difference being that Louisiana and Texas area of the country has tons of talent to more than sustain LSU, particularly when the Texas schools were down. Alabama has to battle Auburn for all of the quality in-state recruits, and frankly there aren't as many to split between two schools as there are for LSU to have on its own. Therefore Alabama has to take a more national approach to recruiting.
Think about it this way. If LSU would have locked down Cam Robinson and Tony Brown, both from LSU's backyard, LSU would have had the number one class. Instead, Les got outworked by Saban. This had little to do with money and everything to do with work.
