How they do in the NFL is a very different story. We have seen this especially with the secondary players, they suck. His linebackers have been good and only 1 or 2 dlineman & they have been ok. Alot of his players tend to be scheme specific and cannot adapt to others schemes.
I have been saying this for a while now. He can get them drafted, but they go on to have average careers. Maybe they peak while they are in college, but GMs have to start seeing that other players (3rd and 4th rounders) catch up to Saban's within a year of being drafted. I love Calipari's comment about KY Players "they get players drafted in the first round and they go on to be very productive at the next level."

I'll be the last to sit in sabans lap, but frankly, who cares? As a recruiting aspect, getting to the NFL in an early round and getting a big check is what they want. Just like Jamarcus russle. You think the recruits look at "he was a huge bust in the NFL"? No, it's look how much money/how high he got drafted.

It's a college coach's job to develope and prepare a player so that he has the opportunity to advance to the next level. Saban does that, period.
shite like that draws the attention of talented HS players and their parents.

the nfl is a market place. if saban's players don't work out, then the gms will stop drafting them. very simple economics. there are very few stars in the nfl, most pro players are workmen who just do their job and are paid very well for it.
take a deep breath and stop worrying about how saban's players do in the nfl and concentrate on what they do in cfb. that's what saban does.
