Is This Nick Saban's Most Impressive Statistic?

I guess you missed the part where 1 out of 4 five stars are drafted at other schools and 1 out of 2 are drafted under saban. Take a class or two and roll tide

Wouldn't a better stat be where on the bell curve of career longevity do Bammer fivestars land? Another way of asking pro teams are Bammer players value for money?

51.5%

As much as I hate saban, there’s a reason he’s recruiting them. When he was at LSU, we all of a sudden started recruiting like crazy. He was the reason.

Thermal is correct. Saban told Moore just as much shortly after being hired. He admitted that Moore didn't hire the best coach, and he was nothing without his players. But, he also admitted Moore just hired a hell of a recruiter. I genuinely dislike it when people count talent advantage among top programs as a knock on a head CFB coach. Recruiting is a year round business and as important as any other faction. You may be the best Xs and Os guy out there, but if can't get the right amount of talent on the team, it really doesn't matter. That said, Saban has not consistently been able to hire and retain those top tier Xs and Os guys to truly take advantage of that top tier player talent. Scary thought if he had.

Seriously why do you always post bama shite? Go to their board with this

he's doing what all sports publications do: cater to the most avid fan base to get eyes on the product, which leads to profits.

Your response shows that you just spout of without facts. Plenty of 3 stars that have been drafted from Bama.

If you want to argue that they would have been 4-stars anywhere else, how does that hurt the point of the post? Seems like there are 3 possible conclusions to draw from this statistic (feel free to add if I miss any, just thinking out loud): 1. Saban is better at identifying "true" 5-stars than the rest of CFB coaches AND/OR 2. Saban is better at developing elite players than the rest of CFB coaches AND/OR 3. NFL GMs trust Saban's players to be good in the NFL to a greater extent than they trust the rest of CFB coaches' players AND/OR ???

first of all, frick Saban and bama. With that established, what does it matter the star ranking if they were drafted in the fist round? The NFL drafts on talent, not the subjective rating of a fat guy that scouts for 247/ So your comment has nothing to do with the stat. he churns out talent, similar to our Tigers

All of them got a Championship ring so it was probably justifiable.
