I am wondering if Saban can produce a run that would rival the Miami teams of the late 80s/early 90s.
No. Even USC with more in-state talent and weaker competition couldn't match the run of the late '80s, early '90s Miami teams.

True but they didn't have Saban running the show. I also think Miami was the product of a fixed bowl system where they would play in championship games at home against overmatched Big 12 opponents. 3 of the 4 championships they won from 1983-1991 were in the Orange Bowl against Big 12 opponents. Saban has already won 2 in the last 3 years so it would not shock me if he accomplished something similar over an 8 year span. Keep in mind that he was 1 quarter away from being in the championship game in 2008 as well.
