re: Is Nick Saban a better recruiter/talent evaluator or coach?

"If he had a better situation at Miami"?? He took the job only because he was given complete control over the whole team; check book included. Or are you saying he would have done better with the Pats or Pack? And don't forget, he blamed the team doctor for the Fins not taking Brees, when, in fact, he had complete & final sayso over everything to do with the team. A great coach? Certainly. But do not make him out to be a god: he lost to ULLLLM & lost too many last play of the game type games as well. If I am recalling this correctly, his record in games decided by 7 points or less is a losing one? In which case, those are the games that coaching is supposed to decide the winner more often than not.
