If your team was about to hire a new coach, would you rather Saban or Harbaugh?

Was having this discussion just now and I argued that due to age difference, I would go with Harbaugh. Maybe I'm biased as a Niner fan but I'd rather 20 years of JH than the 5 years or so Saban probably has left in the tank.

Very tough choice. If you have a situation that is ready made to win (team coming off a 9 or 10 win season) I'd say Saban for sure. If a program needs to be built and there's a ton of work to do I might go with Harbaugh. For A&M I would have gone with Saban I think

As a 30 year Niners fan, I say Harbaugh if you're talking NFL. In collefge, I take Saban.
Two different games and both are coaching at the levels which they are better suited for. At least that is the way I see it based on their results thus far.

definitely Harbaugh...
He took a team that only won one game the year before he took over at Stanford and turned them into a top 5 program. He took an NFL team that hadn't made the playoffs in years and got them there his first year. He took a shitty NFL QB and turned him into a winner.
Saban couldn't win in the NFL and hasn't proven he could win at a shitty program the way Harbaugh has.

The only correct answer is Saban in college and Harbaugh in the NFL.

Nick Saban. But hell, Jim Harbaugh ain't a bad second option.

I really, really like Saban, but I'd take Harbaugh.

I'd take Harbaugh. If he can create a national power at Stanford, he can damn sure do it at Ole Miss. Not that Saban couldn't do it, I just like Harbaugh more.

This one is a no brainer-Harbaugh in a landslide. He proved he could win at a college where the only recruits must be brainiacs. He he then won big in the NFL with a team that was miserable the years before he was hired. Saban has done neither.
