If you think he can fail to recruit well in the SEC and sustain success at the level Alabama will expect, you are certainly entitled to that opinion.


I never said that. The point is that he is recruiting well enough to dominate the conference he is in now. Why would you assume he wouldn't raise that level to meet whatever challenge comes next?

Do you think Brian Kelly recruited the same level at Grand Valley State, Central Michigan, Cincinnati, Notre Dame and now LSU?

Good coaches adapt. There is zero reason to think that DeBoer could not do the same. It's not like he wouldn't have an entire staff, just like Saban does now.

Because he hasn't raised his recruiting from where Washington was prior. People said the same shite about Mike Leach and he never did at State in the recruiting world. Why would you assume his recruiting will get better?

I compared what DeBoer's programs looked like recruiting wise before he got there and compared them to what he did once he got there. His actually got worse. Did Kelly's get worse from where Cincinati/Notre Dame were prior to where they were once he was there?

Let me help you

Cincinnati:
2002 99
2003 92
2004 80
2005 94

enter Brian Kelly
2007 89
2008 67
2009 60

So it looks like Cincinnati went from towards the bottom of D1 football to the middle in short order while Kelly was there

Seems like you're assuming just like I am but trying to pretend you're not and without any evidence to support your conclusion except "why wouldn't he." At least I'm looking at actual data to support my opinion.
