LSU has only had one coach since I have been alive that didn't get good to elite recruits and that was Mike Archer in the 80s.
So why does saban get so much credit for recruiting?
The top players were leaving the state.

Hallman got some pretty good talent (as DiNardo showed pretty quickly in his first year by winning immemdiately), but because he was a buffoon and kept losing, it was hard to keep the best of the best in state. DiNardo did better and started with getting some of the best of the state to stay here (Kevin Faulk, etc.), but Saban really emphasized locking down the LA talent and when you look at his 2003 national championship roster, it was loaded with stars from Louisiana who basically all ended up playing in the NFL.
