I think Saban is a great recruiter, but a very good coach with loads of NFL Caliber Talent on his roster. Five star prospects see him in the Green Room during the NFL Draft watching his players get taken in the first round of the draft and realize he is their best ticket to the NFL. Don't get me wrong he is the best coach in the best conference in college football, but he seems to have third stringers that could start on other SEC Teams. I think he got to the NFL realized that the talent pool is much more even across the league and winning is much more difficult at the NFL Level. As far as Marrone is concerned he got the most out of lesser talent, albeit in a easier conference, and turned a program around. I may regret saying this in a few years, but I think Marrone is a better fit for the NFL.
