, and if you believe that was absolutely natural, purely because of Saban’s recruiting prowess, with no cheating whatsoever, you live in a fantasy world
Of course Saban cheated, but I still think he played the recruiting game better than anyone else.

Bama put plants on the NCAA so they could never be judged again after Albert Means. The NCAA is just a collective of random University dudes...and Bama stacked the Court.

Absolutely not. But the days of your program being head, shoulders, and belly button better th an everyone else talent wise is over. Again, I cannot wait for your fanbase to react to a 9-3 season every 2-3 years.

Stallings was actually not THAT great of a recruiter. The Class of '91 notwithstanding, most of his classes failed to live up to the lofty standards of the program.

All of that success and Saban still wasn’t able to field a team as good as LSU’s 2019 team. Greatest team in the history of college football and Saban had no part of it.
This comment comes across as nothing more than an inferiority complex.

Winning percentage with Bear 81%, winning percentage with Saban 87%, winning percentage between the two? 67%

It was also nice coming off scholarship restrictions and bowl bans. Saban has also spruced the place up a bit.
Now let’s get an aggressive NIL loving coach in there(I don’t think Saban and Alabama were throwing bags on the level of the schools out there)

The way people talk about Mike Shula you'd think he totally shite the bed in recruiting. His classes given what Alabama had been through prior to his taking over were not that bad.
Saban's was other worldly though.

In retrospect, Shula did a pretty good job at stopping the bleeding and keeping the program from completely disappearing (like Nebraska and Tennessee).
His firing had more to do with Auburn completely lapping us during the same time frame and the regression in 2006 than anything else

Although the NCAA stated that the university fully cooperated with the enforcement staff, Alabama received probation from 2002 to 2006, a post-season ban in 2002 and 2003, and loss of 21 scholarships over 3 years.
I’m sure probation and a reduction of scholarships had no affect on recruiting, right?

That's a more accurate depiction of Alabama's floor which puts them in the same ballpark as Auburn, Tennessee, Florida, etc.
Alabama isn't about to hire a Mike Shula, Dennis Franchione, Mike Dubose type though so I have complete cofidence they continue bringing in top 10 classes.

People think Bama always recruited like they do now
who thinks that? Anyone that was old enough to be watching football in 2006 knows there was a monumental change in the program when he was hired.
Granted, I suppose that if you were like 13 in 2006 you'd be in your 30s now, so I guess anyone under 30 might not know. How many people post on here under the age of 30? Actually, it's probably a lot.
shite now I feel old. I shouldn't have started typing this out
