seeing as how he lost most everywhere else he has been when he didn't get the best players, one could say its a lot easier at bama than anyplace else. the brand is strong, saban just keeps it betwwen the lines and out the gutter
Yes, it's easier to win with the best players. But it's not always easy to get the best players.
6 of Saban's 7 full classes have been ranked #1 by Rivals.
Prior to Saban's arrival at Alabama their class rankings were as follows: 2007 - 10th, 2006 - 11th, 2005 - 18th, 2004 - 24th, 2003 - 49th, 2002 - 30th.
If it's so easy to bring in the #1 class to Alabama, why wasn't it being done before Saban got there?
The following are the class rankings for the school Saban was coaching prior to going to Alabama: 2002 - 15th, 2003 - 1st, 2004 - 2nd.
There appears to be a strong correlation between Nick Saban and bringing in highly ranked recruiting classes. It's NOT easy, and Saban does it well. Don't forget that recruiting is a part of coaching.

Because we were on probation and had scholarship limitations.
