Apparently not, if we believe what he said...

Yes I am the type of guy who can come in at the last minute and take any player I want from you. You can spend your whole life recruiting a kid and at the end of the day, if I want him, I’ll get him. If we want him, we’ll get him. Don’t ever get that confused.

He doesn't want to win the national championship either:

quote:

Last year we started the season with a goal. You may think it was to win a national title or win all the games, [but] it was to get eight players drafted.

You just know he'd be playing up 40-0 if they had pulled it off...

recruits want to go to the NBA.

Even if he's greasy and slimy, he gets tons of guys drafted.

Same reason Saban does well. He sells them the NFL

Les Miles isn't too bad himself at selling the NFL to recruits.

I'm specifically talking about why recruits would go play for someone who is full of crap

Les Miles has nothing to do with this
