I can't answer that exactly. Probably no earlier than Saban's 3rd season - realistically. Folks still talk about DuBose and Fran...and even Price...and their players are no longer a part of this program.If we want to say that Miles is winning with Saban's players, why then is it wrong to say that Saban is losing with Shula's? A tough pill to swallow - I like Mike...but true none the less. His recruiting was poor and the work ethic he instilled among his players poorer. We are reaping the "benefits" of it today. Does anyone honestly believe that Saban could undo 4 years of voluntary workouts in a single off season? We have some of the same stamina problems that plagued Shulas teams only they are manifesting themselves later in the season since there has been some improvement...but the root cause is the same thing.I am on a diet trying to lose the 150 pounds of weight I have gained over the past 10 years (mainly the last 7). I started it in August and have lost 50 pounds. I am eating sensibly and working out hard, but I cannot realistically expect to lose it all and get back into shape in 6-8 months...I have a 12-18 month project...and I am not training to be a world class athlete like our players are. It takes time...the "Shula effect" as someone called it, will take longer to overcome...we can only sign 25 per class. When Saban's 2008 signees are Juniors, we should be in much better shape. That will be his 4th season. I guarantee you that we will be better in Saban's 4th year than we were in 2006.
