“It’s easy to dominate with 5 stars at every position” bullcrap that some people love to say when discussing Pruitt’s body of work. Bama’s defense has looked like Swiss cheese with those same players. Matter of fact Pruitt was down pretty much all of his linebackers towards the end of the year last year. We have our football coach, let’s let him coach


To be fair clemson pulls in top 10 classes every year

See post #28 over in the thread below. Over a 4 year recruiting period leading up to last night's game, Bama has recruited nearly twice as many 5* and 4* players as Clemson. You have to recruit well, but you don't have to 'cruit like Goliath to beat Goliath. Clemson settled that issue not once but twice.
A look at team performance vs recruiting quality
Clemson doesn't win the game without all the freaks on offense, but they also don't win if they don't have the dominant OL and stingy D. For all the equality on both sides of the ball, stellar QB play is the trump card...and coaching. It's all a cumulative effect. I think Clemson coaches out coached Bama, and may be starting to see that Saban losing coaches every year does affect their ability to win games where they aren't "out talenting" the other team.

Clemson has 5 stars at every position too.

Pruitt.did not do a good coaching job this year. Maybe it improves next year, maybe it doesnt but noone here is stopping him from doing his job.
I took the point to mean that Pruitt was a good defensive coordinator

Hes insinuated it the other 59 times hes posted it as well. This one be no different.

You either win or you dont. We had 5 to the good and 7 to the bad this year. They ll put that in the record book.
Are you saying Tennessee looked good against Charlotte? Lol

Always funny when people use one game to draw recruiting conclusions

No.

Im saying they were 5-7. Lol
Ok, I didnt say anything about their record, I said they look like trash in 9 of 11 games. Had they looked good in most games only losing by a score or two in most then my opinion of his first year would be different. They didnt.

Stars do matter in many instances. I honestly can't think of any 3 * QB that started as a true freshman. Trevor Lawrence is Peyton 2.0

If we had Trevor this past season, I really feel we could have been 7-5 minimum.

So our talent level has nothing to do with how bad we looked? All of that is on coaching? Ridiculous
