You're missing the point. Saban is coaching his team. Alabama winning another NC is much more of a recruiting tool than calling recruits. There will be many many hours CJP is on the practice field, gameplanning, or watching film when he should be talking to recruits. Also, at this point Alabama already knows who they're targeting and have all their contact info. CJP is going to have to find recruits, research their background, watch their game film, get their contact info ect. If you think most of his time these next six weeks is going to be spent recruiting for Tennessee you're a crazy person. Is he going to be talking to recruits in Alabama team meetings? On the practice field? No. He wont.
I can see it now.
Saban: CJP, get out here. The team is ready to practice!
CJP: Sorry coach, I'm recruiting for Tennessee. I'm all Vol!
I'll repost this since you seem to think he'll have an abundance of free time.
He isn't going to be calling recruits for Tennessee all day down there you know. However, that's what he should be doing.
Again, Saban is at the same disadvantage you are trying to claim. Saban will also be coaching during some of that time, and I have never heard of there being insufficient time to contact recruits during bowl practices
Every time the announcer's talk about Bama's defense in the playoff's, the announcer's will say the new head coach of Tennessee's name great recruiting tool, plus they will tell how loyal he is to his player's if that get's 2 or 3 top recruits will be worth it, don't mean we are pulling for bama, we need to do what ever it takes to land some big time recruits.I have never heard of a situation where a major football school hired a new coach, but the new coach remained at the original school, an arch rival school, to help them for another 6 weeks.
Why would the new coach want to do that?
Why would the head coach (Saban) allow it?
Why would the new employer (UT) allow it?
Why are we putting up with it?
Don't make excuses or lame justifications. We need all his time and energy here now. We have lost the fan base, recruits, and our reputation.
Today, is our new coach for us or is he for Alabama?
That's because they know who they are recruiting. What is CJP gonna do, blindly dial a number? How does he know who he is gonna recruit, who will be a good fit, ect. That takes time to research. Alabama isn't starting fresh.
But you're right, he will have plenty of time to recruit. So the former recruiter of the year better damn well deliver this off season.
Tired of excuses for failure for such a "great coach".

Here's a few more.
Article V: Memorize the mantra, "He wants to be here!" Even though he won't be here until Alabama is done.
Article VI: Anyone who does not believe his word is gospel and/or expects him to perform his first year should get out of the way. If CJP fails, it's never his fault.
Good, so no excuses then. Top 5? I expect a former recruiter of the year to bring in one hell of a class. No? Oh, you got excuses, don't you.
Your not going to make many friends or influence many people here on VN, or is that your plan after all?opcorn:
