Alabama will have had 9 players go in the NFL Draft over two years. He said ESPN has interviewed him as part of a special on that because apparently that's an all-time record.
Maybe they'll talk about his stellar record in the NFL.....and he'll go back there one day to "make it right"

No, he just used the NFL as an excuse to get the hell out of Baton Rouge (who can blame him?). He's actually happy in Tuscaloosa

Auburn, meanwhile, has as many draft picks since 2009 as Tennessee and Ole Miss and fewer than South Carolina. Auburn dominated Alabama 19-12 on the draft-pick scoreboard from 2005 to 2008, but Alabama leads 16-9 over the past three years.
That gap grows next week, by which point Alabama could have more first-round picks in the past four years than Auburn's total picks over that period.

Your comment is a
Bama was fortunate he sucked it up so bad in the NFL and came back to the College game. Other teams in the country need to use Saban's stint in the NFL just as much as Saban uses his accomplishments in College (which I'm sure they do).

Meanwhile, AU players who have been drafted have excelled and have make All-Pro. I wonder if Soloman will ever write a story about those drafted and how they did once they made it to the big leagues. Maybe Bama is the AAA of College Football, a place where players peak and make it to the big show, but never really produce later.

As a Bama fan, I am happy with this.
I do believe Saban is able to get the most out of guys , and motivate some who would otherwise not get drafted or drafted high.

All that talent and he still managed to lose 4 games over those 2 years--twice to LSU, once to Auburn (after being up 24-0 at home). Les lost 3 games during that time span.
And they have the same number of SEC titles and Saban has two more BCSCG. Not sure what your point was ?

Let's re-visit AU's last few first rounders and use your logic of what a first rounder should be.
Logic:
quote:
So being pretty good and solid is worth a first round draft pick. I would agree if you were drafting based on Raiders Standards.
Ronnie Brown (First rounder, 1 Pro Bowl, 4.2 per carry. 37 TDS) BUST
Cadillac Williams (First rounder, 3.8 yds per carry, only 20 TDs in his career, Not even in the NFL anymore? I know short lifetime for RBs) BUST
Ben Grubbs (First Rounder, been very solid but only 1 Pro Bowl)
Jason Campbell (First Rounder, been on what 3 teams?..Raiders, Redskins, Bears) BUST
Cam Newton, (#1 overall, Has been a BEAST, no one can argue this)
Nick Fairly (stayed hurt only had 15 tackles, 1 Sack in his rookie year, Dareus blew him out of the water last year. Will it keep up. I'm not sure, no one knows.) BUST
Carlos Rogers (2nd All Pro, 1 Pro Bowl, 6 Years after being in the NFL) BUST
Yea, you're right dude. AU produces much of a better first rounder prospect than 'Bama. I'm not even saying 'Bama's first rounders are going to be studs. I'm just pointing out that you're full of shite.
The NFL is a gamble. For every, good player a school produces I can name you 2 bad ones. That is for everyone. Plus, right now....'Bama is just now getting back in the NFL. Because of our probation, scholarship numbers, and overall talent that we had in the past.
They guys we are producing now has been better than the last 10 years.

Saban took over a Dolphins team that was 4-12 and in his first year they were 9-7. His next year they went 6-10. I think he already knew he didn't want to coach in the NFL at the start of the second season. He didn't suck it up in the NFL. He wans't exactly great, but he wasn't real bad.

Thank you for re-writing history with the word Bust.
Brown-Pro Bowler, leading rusher for the Dolphins
Cadillac- Rookie of the Year
Grubbs- Pro Bowler
Rogers- Pro Bowler
Newton- Rookie of the Year
McNeil- Pro Bowler
Dansby-Pro Bowler
Washington- Pro Bowler
Ratlif- Multi-Pro Bowler
Tate- shares time with the leading rusher in the league and still almost has 1000 yrd season.
They are all bust.

Nick Saban will go down in history as the greatest college football coach of all time. He's better than Knute Rockne, Bear, etc.

I don't understand what hes trying to prove, he literally must have dick in hand waiting on a reply. OH I HOPE I GET THE APPROVAL OF MY FELLOW KEYBOARD WARRIORS.
