I don't think you can really compare eras but Bear was the greatest of his generation for certain. My Dad always talked about his presence when he was at A&M and how the moment he walked in a room he immediately got everyone's attention and you had no doubt who was in charge. Still the world he lived in was so different than Saban I don't know how you really do apples to apples.

Saban is still one of the few coaches with an old school vibe.

I don't know if a conference will ever dominated the same way Bear dominated the SEC in the 70s.
1971
1972
1973
1974
1975
1977
1978
1979
He only missed out on two conference titles:
1970, where Alabama was mediocre before he installed the Wishbone
1976, where Alabama finished 5-2 to finish second behind Georgia.
1976 Ole Miss is a strange one - they managed to beat both Georgia and Alabama, but didn't finish above .500 for the season.
