To be fair, the "Urban Liar" thing never had to do with his level of success. He's always won big everywhere he's been. So if we're going up against UM for a kid who really only cares about winning and the NFL, we probably don't stand a chance. Which is no different from how things were when he was at UF and eating our lunch regularly.
But he is a liar. He's notorious for negatively recruiting against ND in ways that aren't remotely fair or accurate. And he regularly makes absurd promises to recruits ("You could be the next Percy Harvin!") that he has no intention of following through on. Does he need to do this? No, not with his recent success. But he does anyway. Which actually might work in our favor, because Kelly has won a bunch of head-to-heads with Urban over kids who saw through his schtick. If he was more straight-forward in his approach (like Saban), that might not be the case.
