Except this isn't an opinion topic.

It's quantifiable by class rankings and on the field results.

ETA: And I don't have a problem with the guy saying that, but odds are he did have a little extra motivation in saying it.

it is not quantifiable, because Saban nor O recruit each player individually. Not to mention both are in far different circumstances.

I think what the HS coach probably meant is that O is a better salesman. He knows how to connect with the kids better than most. Saban goes about it much differently I assume. It obviously works, though.

The comment was most definitely an opinion. It's one coach's thought (passed on second hand) that he liked O's approach more than any other coach he'd been around. It doesn't make him right or wrong, simply his opinion... I don't think anyone is saying that O has outrecruited Bama, and if they are, I'm squarely in the opposite corner, since as you said the results don't bear that out... But the commentary in this thread has been of the "triggered" variety. (at least bg13 and BPM)

And you know I say this coming from a place of relative neutrality...

He didn't go to LSU. He's somewhat of a fan, though. Glad you base your argument on an assumption. There are people that realize Saban is the best coach. He knows it, I know it, LSU fans know it. He truly thinks Ed O is the best recruiter he's ever met. It was an opinion of his that was stated on his experiences with both coaches purely from a recruiting perspective. Take it as you will.

ETA: In response to other poster.
