No, I'm just not limited to having to accept your definition.

Recruiting in the sense we are discussing here can only happy at a certain few schools. Saban's skills would not be any less if he spent his entirety at East Carolina. But his results would be. He would still,posses the same abilities but would not get the same results.

Spurrier or any coach wouldn't be able to get the same results at E.Car so that's distinction.

No he really didn't. He has never been a road warrior or a 100 hour work week guy, which is the profile of the modern day big coach.

His FL teams were loaded because it was in Florida.

He landed the big in state recruits in SC.

No one writing a profile of Spurrier would put recruiting as one of his passions.

Regardless of how hard he worked he still landed really good recruiting classes, even at South Carolina. Way better than what South Carolina was used to. Guys like Clowney, Gilmore, etc. were guys they usually lost to Clemson, Georgia, or us.

I think the only thing that could convince @allvol123 at this point is for Saban to purposely recruit a team of misfits and win a national title with them to prove he's as good of a tactical coach as recruiter.

The drop off would be less because his ability isn't as dependent on talent as Saban's is.

It would be like Roy Williams being at UT with 3 star players, he wouldn't do what Barnes has done with this 3 star talent.

There are many facets to coaching, not just recruiting.

Ha. His recruiting is his #1 skill, he isn't as good a tactician as he is a recruiter.

I'd still say starting Hurts over Tua is one of the dumbest things ever seen. Cost him nothing, because there were 10 other NFl players on offense probably, but it was idiotic.

It wasn't dumb at all, especially for the type of offense Saban runs. Tua also made a bunch of mistakes in the championship game last year as well. Remember what happened before he threw the touchdown pass? He took at awful sack to set up that 2nd and 26.

Yes it was.

He also was the factor in them winning the title. They don't sniff that title without him.

Playing the less talented player is idiotic.
