Recruiting 2008: Is Coach Nick Saban a Maestro?

Played like a Stradivarius.

When looking over the recruiting season for this outstanding class I started looking back at January of 2007. The media, rivals, and anyone with an opinion all were jumping on the bandwagon labeled, “Saban is a liar.” Yet, despite all of that bad press, we kept saying, “Its putting the name Saban and Alabama out there day after day after day.” Exposure, no matter good or bad, is just that. Exposure.

I wonder at the time just how long it would last. It wasn’t a thought of how long the bad side of the comments would last because I knew they would continue throughout the year and possibly longer. What I did wonder is how Saban would play the media. I knew it would be like a violin, perhaps a little scratchy at times, but never the less played.

Today, the tune has changed. It’s no longer “Chop Sticks” but it’s Felix Mendelssohn's in E minor, Op. 64.
