With all due respect, part of " getting a program like bama has" requires pushing the envelope and being very creative to find any competitive advantage that exists. Part of that is aggressive recruiting, which entails many many things. Sabotaging your opponent is part of it. That's the reality.

Nobody said saban is going to hell for it. He's not. He's going to hell for other reasons

Saban isn't stupid. Negative recruiting does yourself more harm than good. Bama doesn't need to use that tactic. Nor does LSU. Also, it's easier for a good recruiter to be a great recuiter when he's selling a program like Bama or LSU.

Besides, the media does enough speculation about coaching changes that recruiters don't really even need to mention it in the form of negative recruiting.

The school and program, along with the HC, OC & DC, trump lower-level staff recruiters. If you're good on those fronts, you're not so likely to lose recruits because a staff member gets hired away to a higher level job. How many recruits did Bama lose because Kiffin left?
