Say what you want about Ole grass eater, but he recruited well along the offensive and defensive line.

No he didn't. Our offensive lines were typically made up of guys who went undrafted. It was the only position group on the team, besides QB, about which that could be said.

We had T Bob Hebert starting games for us. The only time I remember Les had offensive lines that were a strong point were those he inherited from Saban.

He had a lot of years with good running games. But that was obviously attributable to other things, because the NFL didn't covet very many of our linemen. In my opinion, our good running games were attributable to three things: excellent running backs, an excellent defense that kept our offense on the field, and excellent offensive line coaching.
