You and I both know that he likely has his own agenda and I'm not saying he isn't a whiny little bitch. I just think there is merit to this argument, the messenger withstanding.
I don't see it, it's been this way for a long time. If his team lost focus because the deadline to announce for the draft is in December, then that's on him. Ultimately it's the coach's responsibility to have his team prepared. We constantly (not all) blast Les for not having kids prepared and he makes no excuses. Nick has a new excuse for every loss. Urban Meyer had a lot of kids going through the same thing and that didn't stop his team from being focused and kicking Nick's ass. But I get where you are coming from. I just don't see it as an issue.

I agree, it for sure has merit But... This is it, keep your mouth shut and let everyone else make this point for you, the "king" of CFB crying like a baby because he has too much talent sounds...well...
Nobody's questioning whether its a valid argument. Its just funny that a. Saban will never accept responsibility when his team looks unprepared, and b. he consistently recruits as well as, or better than, anyone in the nation, and then complains when his players get the NFL attention they rightfully deserve.
