I'm with sadlerdawg on this one. I don't care that we don't have Bama's pedigree--go get me someone who can GET us to that point.
At one point in time, bama had to grow into that pedigree.
We actually have advantages over Alabama.
1. More $$$ overall flowing through.
2. More talent in high school here than in Bama.
3. The airport in Atlanta.
4. The ATL TV market.
5. No other SEC team in our own state competing with us like they have in Alabama.
Look at Bama under Shula and the others before Saban--they stunk. now, IF Bama had stuck with bad coaches, there wouldn't be anyone under 30 alive who remembers the Bama Glory Years. Where would they be??????
A kid who is 15 and being recruited by bama knows the saban success there---not the Bear's success.
bring in a coach who can keep 7 of the top 10 state players in high school at home for four staright years, sign 5 OLmen per year over that time frame, with 1 of them being a 5 star, 2 of them being 4 stars, and in four years WE will own the SEC.
This isn't UT, where you HAVE to leaqve the state to get players to compete; within a 3 hour radius of UGA, there is enough talent to win 9-10 games a year MINIMUM.
