Not for Saban. But maybe the rant knows better than him.
Oh, frick right off with that.
Steve Spurrier said he retired because he realized that cfb is about recruiting the players, that college coaches can no longer out-coach with X's and O's. Saban gets by only on the reputation that people have built up with their god-coach praise of him. So, all of you artards go on recruiting boards—which recruits read—and talk him up as being some sort of god-coach. And he isn't. He's more a beneficiary of the praise heaped upon him. Exhibit A: had two stellar seasons at LSU, and several mediocre seasons. Exhibit B: that praise led to his getting unprecedented control over an NFL team, where he couldn't get by on reputation alone, and floundered out of the league in a season and a half. So, he goes to one of the two or three college schools with reputations as big as his, and has a decent but not great season...until his and bama's bullshite echo chamber reputations can score them the recruiting pick of the litter. Then, he's successful again, despite several seasons of par results, and everyone's back on the saban/bama bandwagon.
Chavis was an absolutely shite recruiter. Good coach, but leaves the cupboard completely bare. LSU recruited as well as we did while he was here because of miles and frank, which is not disputable. Now, with Aranda, we've got a young, talented, innovative rising star who calls games that LB's will want to be a part of. Combined with O's gangbusters recruiting, we've got a very strong thing going. The defensive recruiting is even better now and the results are gonna show on the scoreboard.

Well, you and Spurrier are right on about it being about talent over coaching. But no, Saban isn't the beneficiary of anything he didn't create. He came to LSU a nobody, and he built a championship caliber program. It asn't just the natty he won; he upgraded everything about the program.
That's how he got his reputation. It kills me everytime we lose to him, but we're not losing because he's a lucky beneficiary. We're losing because he's the best. And it's foolish not to analyze and emulate the best - then do it a little bit better.

Put the pipe down bro, Saban is one of if not the best college football coach of all time. How could you argue with that? The NFL is completely different. Recruiting has always been the life blood of a successful college program and the great coaches now how to recruit.
