Friend coached @ both Bama & UGA. Said admin support @ UGA/LSU was far better

in every regard. He specifically cited supplementation, scouting and recruiting funding, money for hosting and entertaining families and recruits and HS coaches. Computer and preparation hardware and equipment including film, and so forth. And paid trips to various schools, camps and NFL location for learning and sharing of ideas.

Richt was @ UGA then and was before Saban. He said Alabama was pitiful And relying solely on the name at the time. He made a trip to LSU and visited when Saban was there. He also said Auburn was top notch. Rated Georgia and LSU at the very top with AU third. He said the coaches at Alabama had to throw in their own $$ to buy some sort of scouting computers to look at the up coming opponents tendencies. Of course this was BS, before Saban.

BTW, I have heard rumblings from various UGA fans complaining about admin. And would just smile.After Bryant left UA the money for football dried up. I remember Gene Stallings raising hell and basically calling the PTB's there liars. They made him a bunch of empty promises apparently. When they were in a coaching search his statement was "the new coach better get anything they say or promise in writing Brother, caus it ain't coming"...was also a big part of Perkins hauling buggy. They obviously got the message later on and Nick Saban delivered it.
