I agree with you, but that is also a part of what makes a great coach. Getting all the bad-asses to buy your bullshite.
Oh I agree - you can't really separate recruiting when doing an *overall* measure of performance (well maybe with Saban but only because he's had four straight number 1 classes***). I'm just curious to see where he and others fall in things like XOs and player development.
***Here's the top 2 roster rankings in the SEC as well as the nation (5 year average) and the difference is pretty fricking astounding:
Team-------'14---'13---'12---'11---'10---Avg.
1.Alabama- 1 -- 1 -- 1 --- 1 ---- 5 -- 1.8
2t.FSU. ---- 4 -- 10 -- 3 -- 2 ---- 9 -- 5.6
2t.Florida -- 9 --- 3 -- 4 -- 11 --- 1 -- 5.6

player development
As far as player development, Saban is one of the best there is. Just look at how many players he's put into the first round since 2008. As far as Xs and Os goes, there's no one better on the defensive side of the football. Alabama has led the SEC in Total Defense every year since 2008. That is unprecedented in the history of this conference.
