re: Why have so many players from La. struggled to make an impact at Bama?

I agree with the op post 100%. I believe early in Saban's career at Alabama he signed marginal players from Louisiana to position himself for other players he wanted in following years. Saban is an a-hole like that, and I'm sure most of the faculty at UA is embarrassed at the winning at any cost that their school reputation has.

I wouldn't urinate on Saban if he was on fire. I don't understand what thrill he gets from coaching a full roster of four and five star players against every team in America. He should never lose a game with that much talent. Thank God each year some better game day coach beats his little five foot nothing arse. frick Saban . He's a miserable a-hole. Go back to West Virginia, Kent St, Michigan St, Browns. Try to win there.
