With all those #1 ranked recruiting classes and all those 5* kids with depth at every position, bama lost the game BECAUSE two players were out?! Are you serious? So all those other highly rated kids weren't ready to play or was it they haven't been developed? hum...

Saban can't coach his way around losing two receivers when he has amassed the largest pool of 5* players in the history of college football? That is what you are trying to tell me? GTFO!

Saban has never been a great coach, just an incredible recruiter. The NIL era will prove this. So long bama....

Recuiting is half the job of a college coach. If you can't do it well, you won't last in the SEC..

What about when the freshman receivers and QB came in and won it in 2017?

Sabah let Jimbo’s offense drop a 40 burger on him…

I could assemble a defense of Ranters coached by Harry Rex and easily hold Jimbo under 40

Old Man Sabah = Oof! + Not good!

The outside passing game was Alabama's only path to victory with this current team. Once you lose your 2 best outside pass catchers there was no longer a path to victory vs that UGA defense.

UGA was the better team as they had more paths to victory.

Alabama will be back with a better team next year hopefully with better health.

If that's all he was, you'd figure the GOAT cfb coach would've had more title appearances in the fertile recruiting grounds of Louisiana, right???

Because he had the best bag men….

Look at the NIL deals they have now.
It’s out in the open now.

Saban's model is to compile as much talent as possible and and let the ones that are going to break out... break out. They were going to be stars no matter where they played. frick the rest of the kids.... No development = average coach

While your premise that he is an average game day coach is correct, the problem is in your title: "just a great recruiter"

CFB is way more about Jimmys and joes than x's and o's, and that is where he excels. Most of the time it doesn't matter if another coach is running a better scheme or calling better plays if your guys are just better football players than their guys.

2 WR'S, 2 starting CB's were out, and only 1 truly healthy RB. This year PROVED Saban is a great coach, just getting us there.

It's true. They were in the champ game without the typical Bama team. They usually have a dominant RB tandem and household names accross at almost every position in the front 7.

Stetson Bennett was a walkon and he embarrassed bama and their Heisman winner. Is that enough for you?
