I would take a coach from a "blueberry state" but not at these salaries until "PROVEN"
Again, get a hot shot coach from a Costal Carolina but at a good salary until proven...If unsuccessful buy them out. They make more than they ever have and we can bring in more "annalists" and assistants.
There are very few Saban, SOS, Urban, Bear...Coaches...But what we are doing is not working. I think the "Cousin Eddie's and Muschump's can hide in a Saban/Urban System...all the recruiting is done for them.
It's like the Corporate World...I'd go for the Entrepreneur of coaching...(SOS, URBAN)

You forgot the most improbable one of all: Charlie Weatherbie.
And the guy before CDM at cowbell was Sylvester Croom.

If we dig into his Michigan State record I'm sure we'd find some head-scratcher losses. Post 2007 though he's only lost about 20 games.

when Saban left Michigan State, they were pretty upset in Sparty land. they like to think of themselves as a destination job and a Big Ten blue blood.
In interview Saban said in Louisiana he would not be second tier to another school in his own state with recruiting. When they lured him to Alabama, he basically demanded a blank check, anything and everything....any amount that he felt he needed to not just compete but to outclass every other program.
Saban understands the value of recruiting in a way that our buffoon does not. (I know he's now saying he's going to take it seriously from now on.)
Frankly I don't think Saban is any particularly spectacular game planner. He just stacks the deck so badly that no one else has a chance.
Wish we would hire some coaches and understood recruiting was important. I guess you could say Chimp did but he only believed that recruiting one side of the ball mattered, and he really only believed in recruiting defensive backs and Rush backers.

I read the book "Saban" a few years ago. It talks about him flying to Alabama w/ the AD (Mal Moore, I think) and on that flight he laid out what he needed for recruiting, and that was all they talked about - building an unstoppable recruiting machine. And here we are....14 years later and they just signed ANOTHER #1 ranked recruiting class, the highest rated class in the history of the recruiting services ranking systems.
