re: Pre-Clemson Melt. Beating the X-mas rush

Nick Saban is smart enough to NOT take jobs at those type schools.

JMO but Nick is a great Manager/Recruiter but is just a Really good coach and not great. The best part is he understands that as well thus he works 24/7/365 at recruiting and managing his program.

“Do you think you’ve hired the best coach in the country?” the 55-year-old Saban asked Moore.

By this time, with Moore’s agonizing, month-long quest to pry Saban away from the Miami Dolphins having finally come to fruition, the AD was feeling a bit punch-drunk. He still didn’t know his new coach very well, still found him hard to read.

“Why, Nick, of course I do,” Moore said, while thinking to himself: For $4 million a year, I sure as hell hope so.

“Well, you didn’t—I’m nothing without my players,” Saban said, locking eyes with Moore. “But you did just hire a helluva recruiter.”
