If they were dead when he took over than what would you consider Stanford before Harbaugh took over? Do you honestly believe that LSU and Bama were in worse shape than Stanford and harder to win at? And IMO, it's much easier to recruit at Alabama than at Stanford...
FWIW, LSU was 32-24-1 the five years before Saban
Michigan State was 27-29 the five years before Saban
Alabama was 36-27 the five years before Saban.
Stanford was 16-40 the five years before Harbaugh.
I'm not sure why people are bothered by the fact that some people would rather have Harbaugh. I'm not trying to take anything away from Saban, but I don't understand why people are trying to diminish Harbaughs accomplishments...
