re: I know I'll get ridiculed for saying this

As for LK being a great recruiter, do remember that Oregron was on every college football staff LK was on. And ESPN just ran a stat showing LK's total offense stats when he was a HC & they are nothing to write home bout. One team made the top 24 and that was the best he ever had.He's never had any one control him like Saban will do,either. Which is why I laugh at all the criticism against Nussmeier: he ran the offense Saban told him to run. Saban controls everything to do with his "process" & obviously his offense game plan tops the list of any game day planning.
