There’s no concrete evidence to suggest that Nick Saban’s recruitment strategy involves cheating. However, I did find some interesting information on how he was recruited to Alabama.
It turns out that Mal Moore, the athletic director at the time, played a crucial role in bringing Saban to Alabama. Moore had a personal connection with Saban through his nephew, Chuck Moore, who had worked with Saban on a construction project ¹. This connection helped facilitate secret meetings and discussions between Moore and Saban.
Moore’s strategy involved showcasing Alabama’s upgraded athletic facilities and emphasizing the program’s potential for success. He also leveraged Saban’s love for college football and his desire to build a strong program ¹.
