“We’re going to have a war. You’re going to have a howitzer, and I have a musket, and then every time we’ll say that you’re brilliant.”

Sounds like he is complaining because he isn't as good of a recruiter as Saban.

Don't blame Saban because he brought the Howitzer. Blame yourself for only being able to get a musket.

He built the war machine. Not his fault they can't do the same.

Whose fault is it you only have a musket?

Not the best metaphor I've ever heard- in fact, just sounds bitchy.

Except Saban built that Howitzer from a pile of sticks and rubbish he found when he showed up.

I love how, depending on the argument at hand, people will say how Alabama was trash and Saban was the only thing that saved them OR Saban is completely overrated and can only win with superior talent which is automatically at his disposal.

Also, for this article they interviewed something like 26 coaches, so only two coaches called him overrated.

And dominated the SEC the very next year, following a spring that saw zero Alabama players drafted. The "Saban isn't a great coach but a great recruiter" myth is quite comical, you can look at 2008 to blow that argument out of the water

Sounds like welfare coach who wants redistribution of recruits.

Recruiting is part of coaching.

OK. So it's not brilliant. But how dumb is it to go to war against a howitzer with a musket?

Step up your battle plans, or get dropped.

Do you have a single reference of anyone of consequence going on record to call Saban a cheater?

TIA.

Anonymous my arse!

Come out of hiding you little pussy muskets, if you're going to talk WAR and Howitzer's then man up and own it.

And why the hell are all these coaches slack-assing around doing interviews and ranking underrated/overrated coaches? Shouldn't they be working 24/7 to get ready for the season like the man with the Howitzer crew?

"Anonymous coach" is more likely an "anonymous man" writing this article. I say this source is as fake as a a cnn or New York Times "anonymous source"
