Was it bullshite when he said it? I want a running count of the Alabama fans who think Brian Kelly is full of shite for saying what he said and Nick Saban wasn't.
Nothing he said was bullshite. Alabama did not have a collective for that recruiting class, so he wasn't buying players with it. At the time, I think A&M was the only one with a collective.
He didn't like the shite so he retired, and I don't blame him. It's the entire reason he left the NFL, and now college football has turned into that.
If BK said - frick this shite, I'm not dealing with it anymore, I wouldn't blame him either. The entire thing sucks arse, but don't pretend like you aren't playing ball after you strike out.

You think Saban literally meant Alabama wasn't paying players prior to NIL?

Ya'll are so full of shite it's coming out of your eyes. Pre-NIL and Post NIL head coaches knew and know now what amount of money or other inducements it would/will take to get a certain player to sign. Was Saban paying players? You're God damn right he was. Maybe not from his own pocketbook. But did he know what it would take to get them to sign? Absolutely. Were there buffers between him and the bag men? Absolutely. But he knew what it would take and made sure it happened.
