Can Carroll actually recruit though? Shouldn't take much to tell a kid that he will be playing for the only pro football team in the country's second largest city and be surrounded by hot women. Not sure if he would be as good convincing kids to go to Tuscaloosa

"I haven't read through the thread so I'm sure this has been brought up but two things: Pete cheated, Saban hasn't."
To be fair Saban coaches in a neutered era of the NCAA. He has had multiple things occur on his watch which earlier in the 2000's would have been more serious and caused the NCAA to look harder at the school. The biggest difference in the NCAA is they now try "not" to find stuff, they at one time didn't leave until they had something to show the world.
Heck a coach paid a player and the response was penalizing the player a few games. Ironically it was hammering USC that reminded the NCAA that it affects their bottom line when the cash cows aren't producing.
