Liked the line by Clowney's HS coach, 'when Saban was at the white board, “in a matter of minutes, it looked like he had created nuclear energy.”'. Thanks for posting TW, Interesting look at Saban's recruiting.

cb, loved that comment myself, but in a slightly different context - thought, "That's it, that's what makes Saban the recruiting dynamo - he's fueled by nuclear energy!"

CNS doesn't get gratification from winning games and championships. He gets it from the work he puts in every day. He thrives on it. He's just wired differently than most of us.

You know, I would wonder just how much CNS likes to recruit, based on the parts of his personality we've been exposed to as fans. I personally think he doesn't like it one bit, the hand shaking and public relations and persuading he has to do. I think he has established a formula for winning and recruiting happens to be a prime component that he has to excel in. I think everything he does is predicated on a hyper strong desire to be the best.

I don't know. He comes from a small town, hard working, help your neighbor kind of background. He is probably great in a living room environment pretty much one on one talking about what he loves as opposed to a room full of newspaper guys looking for a headline, etc. Just a feeling, could be wrong.

Thanks for the link. I loved the part when Saban was at the practice with Campbell in Miami and just took is coat off to do some drills.
