Just like his Mentor Saban and his colleague Kirby
Going to stacking elite talent on elite talent
Kirby said
Bret Bielema last year too ALOT of flack for his statement that was all TRUE
Answering a question about his approach to recruiting as a head coach, Bielema on Monday said: “I just know this: as a head coach, you’re only as good as your roster. I kind of learned that the first time I went to the Kentucky Derby. Nobody was betting on the jockeys, everybody was betting on the horses. To win the derby, you’ve got to have the right horse and I think our players are going to be a reflection of what our program stands for. I stood at the front of the room last year when I took over and said everybody is invited back because of COVID, they gave me the opportunity to do that. As this roster continues to transition, I’ve got to make tough decisions. The players have to make decisions. The roster is going to have to change to get to where we want to be to win a championship. I recognized that probably midway through the spring last year, through the summer. Certain positions haven’t probably played out the way they envisioned them to, in particular the offensive line. I don’t believe we have a player in the two-deep that they’ve recruited here over the last three [recruiting classes] that is really significantly doing anything for us in the playing department and that’s a major concern.”
Mario is not just trying to win games, if he did he would just run gimmicky offense , no Mario is looking to win National Championships

The importance of recruiting is well documented, but I don't think I've seen a coach blatantly say that 75% of his job/success happens before the players even step foot on campus.
