In$ide the recruiting pitch of a ma$ter recruiter February 14, 2008

Just how did he do it? (Thanks for the link Mike Slive is Gay)
Despite a 7-6 record in his first season at Alabama, $4 million-a-year man Nick Saban compiled a recruiting class that has been widely acclaimed as the finest in the country. Rivals.com, Scout.com and SuperPrep all gave the Crimson Tide the top spot after last week’s National Signing Day.
As always, the 10 Spot [Link] wants to go inside the numbers. Specifically, what is Saban’s recruiting pitch? Here’s an exclusive list of his favorite lines to prospects:
10. We’ve kicked Louisiana-Monroe off the schedule
9. Son, I can show you how to be an NFL pariah
8. What kind of girly name is “Auburn” anyway? Might as well go to “Chestnut Highlights University”
7. And who do you think built the 2007 Dolphins?
6. I’m telling you, Les Miles is still going to Michigan
5. You’ll be exposed to more assistant coaches in four years here than anywhere in the country
4. We’re not on probation at the moment [again]
3. No, it’s just a high-tech headset; they’re certainly not horns, if that’s what you were thinking
2. Come help me build a championship program for the next guy, like Ron Zook does it!!
1. I’m rich, motherfucker!!
If you put Saban under hypnosis I’ll bet he’d admit to being sexually abused as a child. That’s the only explanation I can come up with for him being the way he is.
I bet he cheated to get those players. There is no other reasonable answer. None. Like he just is really good at it and works 16 hours a day. That doesn’t make sense.
Anyway, Bama didn’t really get a good class. In fact, Saban is not even Bama’s coach. I mean, the media and rival fans told me that Bama would never land a big name coach like Saban, and they said that even if Bama did, the coach wouldn’t be able to compete at recruiting due to the in state competition. They wouldn’t have been wishful thinking, now, would they?
#2 on that list is right tha fuck on.
The Dolphins are an up and coming NFL team because of Saban

No, you can thank the Wannstache’s years of mismanagement for that one. Not a great front office down there, either.
@6 Bama Spin Cycle-Rinse, Trackback, Repeat…
Just like I guess this year’s 7-6 record isn’t a reflection of Saban’s coaching abilities, but the recruiting (or lack of) effort of Shula, right???
And if Saban wins 10 games next year, he is a good coach, even though essentially the same players will be there from this past year, right???
he cheated…i feel sure
$aban cheat$? Very depressing, all along I thought the 4 million was for honesty and integrity.

Maybe they’re paying Nick Saban $4 million per year for the hypnosis machine in his office.
Good post.
