re: Why isn’t Bama more worried about this guys recruiting track record?

They would not have hired him if they didn’t think he was a great coach.

By that standard, every coach ever hired at top level schools is a known great coach. Sometimes you take chances. Nobody in the world knows if his success will translate to Bama or not. I'm just saying the sample size on this guy is very small. He could very well be the next best great coach who wins multiple championships. I just think he is unknown and a higher risk. But I don't think Bama could get anyone who wasn't a risk, they all said no.

nobody ever lets the place burn down on purpose.
