re: SI Mailbag on Nick Saban (#1 coach in America)

To me Saban proves that it is all about the coaching and not about how many stars a recruit has. He has whatever it was that Bryant had that allows him to take ordinary players and turn them into champions.

Don't kid yourself. Saban is recruiting the most talented players in the country. He's not just signing the local boys whose daddy's pay money and turning them into champions. He is playing recruiting the best talent, and he is coaching them as good or better than anybody else. But give him Vanderbilt's talent, and he is not winning the SEC.
