The site that I have posted below just furthers my belief in the difference some coaches make when it becomes recruiting time.
Examples:
Ever notice when Richt holds a press conference that he is always sitting?
Every press conference that I have watched with Saban involved, coach is standing.
When Richt speaks he often asks questions of his supporting cast, not having the answer.
Saban appears to read nothing and looks at the audience versus looking down and to the right.
Saban is dressed for press conferences and does not waste time joking around.
There are many more examples . . . invite you to watch the press conference below and maybe compare the difference between a successful head coach and one that says he wants to be.
These young players are sure that they have been handed good information on their draft status. Also notice that Saban mentions his closeness with NFL personnel. Great recruiting tool. The players that come to the podium echo the fact that they trust Saban.
