I believe the announcers said something like “every single recruiting class by Saban at Bama has experienced a national championship”—that’s pretty impressive.

Yep.  Great coach obviously. Even better recruiter. They have the one or two class every single year. So unbelievable talent and he knows what to do with it.

Yes, Lex, he is a good recruiter and probably a better coach, but what challenges does he have when recruiting?  Is he going to lose a recruit because he can't get past admissions?
He is a good coach, maybe a great coach at a school who will let any athlete in who meets the NCAA requirements.  A whole different ball game than what Shaw has to deal with.  To prove he is really both a great coach and a great recruiter he needs to go somewhere that won't rubber stamp every application he wants approved.
