re: Nick Saban at LSU compared to Nick Saban at Alabama

Success in college football is about 90% recruiting. And 10% coaching. Whether ithe school is just great and the kids just come there or they are primarily bought and paid for is up for your interpretation. I look at it simply as this. If Gus Malzahn and staff were coaching at Alabama with Alabama Recruits how much success would he have and if Saban was at Auburn how much success would he have. I think you know the answer.

Summary:

Coaches don't matter, only players do and every coach would have Saban's success if only they were at Alabama.

I don't agree with either one of your theories.

If what you say is true, why doesn't every coach just out-recruit Saban? No one is preventing them from doing so.

If Saban was at auburn, he would have a stocked, 4 and 5 star laden roster just like he does at Alabama so, not sure what your point is.

Malzhan, if he were at Alabama, would have probably about the same record he does at auburn. He is who he is and the school he is at can't change that.
