Sure, there will always be one or two anomalies, like Bill Snyder, but for the most part if you can't recruit, it doesn't matter how good of a coach you are, you can't create a successful program.
Look at guys like Saban and Spurrier. They are just very good recruiters, or excel at hiring very good recruiters, but they really can't coach. They both attempted to coach NFL teams, and their inability to actually coach became very evident.
I don't like Pete Carroll. But he won a Super Bowl. But I don't think he can coach. He kinda lucked into an all-time defense, and a surprisingly good QB. And even with that luck, his poor coaching cost his team a 2nd Super Bowl championship.

Truth! For the most part, the college team with the best players win. If you can recruit the top players, you win.
