Also, I know the program is rolling now but look how he’s still killing it under NIL despite the fact that players usually will have multiple 4 and 5 stars ahead of them on the depth chart. NIL should have taken away his advantage, if what you are saying is true.
He's among the fastest in the SEC to adapt to almost anything, now NIL, but it's because he has to. Yes, NIL is taking recruiting advantages away from the established and it's a situation largely out of his control. What A&M benefited from last year is not NIL, and Saban is perfectly aware of that practice, but isn't doing much to refine that "game" within the SEC.
NIL is how Texas jumps back into this fold, despite losing to Kansas at home and going 5-7. It's easier with a bigger brand and endowment than anyone in the SEC, but putting kids in the NFL is still the biggest grade of success.

I don’t really take any exception to your last post.
And at the risk of putting words in your mouth, it kind of appears that you have backed away from your initial (I would call extreme) claims: Saban blackmails those in power to look the other way, he runs an extremely dirty program relative to his rivals, he either directly manages or has direct familiarity with the details of an organized and highly sophisticated, program-managed cheating scheme to get recruits on campus. Now it appears you are kind of saying he is a master of adapting, he bends the intent of the rules to his favor, and/or operates in gray areas. If that’s where you’re at now, I agree with you.
