Is Nick Saban's lack of Tech Savvy hurting our recruiting during the pandemic?

Nick admittedly has never sent a tweet or an email, doesn't have a twitter or instagram, really doesn't seem like he is suited for recruiting kids in these circumstances. Meanwhile schools like Ohio State and Tennessee are killing it.

No doubt that Nick Saban is one of the best one on one recruiters, if not the best, but times are different right now, and he isn't very up on communicating in the ways most of these recruits do right now during the pandemic, through text, twitter, ect.

He should hire me. But seriously, sounds like Alabama Football needs a new social media strategist.

LOL. Saban was the first coach to use Skype to talk to a recruit. The staff is monitoring our players activity right now via Apple Watches. They have GPS tech inside of the pads that help coaches make the players more efficient. UA just hired the most forward thinking S&C duo in the country.

If you think Saban is going to lose out on the innovation front because he made some corny remark about email, then you don’t know him.

It's not. Saban doesn't want or need to converse with recruits via texting or social media like twitter or instagram. Instead, he talks with them and their parents directly, and pretty frequently, via phone calls and zoom. It's really not an issue.

Saban may not be on social media all the time but as others have alluded to, I guarantee his staff and media dept are all over it with recruits . Assistants have more contact than head coaches anyway

I’m confused as to how the circumstances have anything to do with it. Presumably he can still call (like he always has) and I’m sure he is.
