re: So the OBC tells Saban to work smarter not harder?...

You said it yourself. Just like you said he would bring talent to South Carolina. It looks to me like Spurrier does a pretty damn good job of getting talent there himself. I don't think Spurrier gets enough credit for the job he's done there. It's not like they were some kind of traditional powerhouse like Alabama that could use their winning history as a recruiting tool. He has built USC into a yearly contender and I don't think just anybody could've done what he has done there.
