The Tennessee Titans' DC is old as dirt and he still does a great job. Coach Saban could coach a while. Coach Saban's job is different of course but it could happen.
But it worked. It really worked.Saying another coach is on the back end of his coaching career is not the worst thing a coach can say when recruiting. Saying it about a coach only 5 years older? That's just stupid.
The number one player in Ohio bought it, who's to say others haven't?I know some bad and dirty stuff goes on. I would hope kids of the caliber we recruit, and other good programs recruit, are smart enough to see through the BS. Like I said above, Nick is older, no doubt. But until he loses a step I just do not see his age as much of a weapon. Maybe some kids will buy it, but many coaches have done well into their 70's. As long as saban can win and get guys to the pros, all the rest is pretty lame. At this level kids either want 1 of 2 things, the great players want to go pro.......check. 2 the others want to play their way to a good education....check. The kids that are looking for other things can go elsewhere. At one time many kids avoided schools if they had bad weather or were not party places. Miami and the like used to use the night ife as a good tool. Today the players looking for that kind of stuff we do not need. Party kids usually are not going to be great additions to a team which requires a lot of sacrifice.Again every kid is different, but if age is all they have to hit Saban with they are fighting an uphill battle in my opinion. He looks and carries himself well for his age. Burnout would be my first worry, and Saban lives for football. So I do not worry about that much either. I did love when aubs always talked about his height, just showed how lame they were. Like he was going to be lining up on the line LOL.
Kids are stupid.But it worked. It really worked.

The thing is if he says such things about a guy only 5 years older does he tell recruits that Saban is an old man ready for the rocking chair?Wow, if this is the definition of “dirty recruiting” by Dabo, then he’s a lightweight at it. Lol, I don’t see anything wrong with this. If that’s what sways a kid, I think the kid was already wanting Clemson.
If Alabama beats Clemson in 2 weeks, he is going to have to keep Saban's name out of his mouth. But if Clemson wins, Dabo can say whatever he wants. He will have earned it.The thing is if he says such things about a guy only 5 years older does he tell recruits that Saban is an old man ready for the rocking chair?
Probably...The thing is if he says such things about a guy only 5 years older does he tell recruits that Saban is an old man ready for the rocking chair?
Totally agree...it's not like he's saying something about Urban's mother or something. Add to that:everytime they show Urban on TV he "looks" like he's thinking about retirement with his stressed, tired expressions.Wow, if this is the definition of “dirty recruiting” by Dabo, then he’s a lightweight at it.

I thought Clemson was more controlled this year than last year.Mine did a lot. I thought he did one heck of a coaching job last night. Plus he actually kept his players under control, unlike the Oklahoma game.
I dunno if I can handle seeing that hideous Tiger mascot anymore than I already have.With so many of their guys coming back, they have a great chance of making the CFP again next year.
they came dangerously close to losing more than the syracuse game this year. i wouldn't be surprised if they have 2 + losses at the end of the regular season this year.With so many of their guys coming back, they have a great chance of making the CFP again next year.
Sounds like Dabo might have a similar situation as we were in with Jalen and Tua. The freshman QB is supposed to be a great passer...not sure how great compared to Tua....but Kelly Bryant was exposed against our great defensive scheme.With so many of their guys coming back, they have a great chance of making the CFP again next year.
I wouldn't mind seeing him manage it to a championship game loss to us.Sounds like Dabo might have a similar situation as we were in with Jalen and Tua.

Wonder how Dabo manages it.
