Bama's recruiting plane and log. Good read.
- Thread starter TheBigDA

I thought it was funny that he said he spent some of his plane time watching film on Oklahoma.
Saban is whiny little ***** if he doesn't get everything his way. I would love to see him have to coach at a place like Miami (OH) for about 6 years. He would be a real miserable bastard. I could see the windows in his office completely covered in dark Victorian drapes with gothic Italian organ music playing on an archaic speaker horn. He grows his sideburns and starts wearing a dark chesterfield coat with the collar up..smoke from incense billowing around..
If you think Nick Saban recruited any differently in the years he was playing for the national title, you're crazy. The dead period starts only a week after the SEC title game anyway. It's not like that week is the difference between trying to win a bowl game and saying 17 it, who cares if we win or lose. Bama lost to Oklahoma for the same reason they lost to Texas A&M last year (and almost again this year), and the same reason they lost to Auburn this year. Saban struggles to defend a good fast-paced spread offense. Why do you think he's been so publicly calling to change the rules to essentially outlaw them? Because they don't let him play defense the only way he really knows how to.
