Didn't Bryant also win an SEC title at UK?

Not impressed. Les miles numbers are pretty much equivalent. So Les is like Bear!

Bryant then coached 20 more years, won 5 more national titles, and 12 more conference titles.
Also, he only had three bad seasons in that time, and segregation probably had a lot to do with the first 2, with the other being his final year.
He's the best ever, and it's really not that difficult of a decision for me. I understand others may feel differently.

Win percentage for every Alabama coach with a statue on the Walk of Champions over their first half-decade in Tuscaloosa
Coach Years Win Pct.
Nick Saban 2007-2011 0.806
Gene Stallings 1990-1994 0.698
Paul W. Bryant 1958-1962 0.806
Frank Thomas 1931-1935 0.854
Wallace Wade 1923-1927 0.826
quote:
It should be noted that Saban's total without the games vacated by the NCAA is .821 and Stallings' jumps to .833 when the forfeited contests from 1993 are accounted for. So, by this measure Saban's production on the field has actually been better than Bryant's over the same span of their career at the Capstone. And both of them are significantly behind Alabama's three other National Championship-winning coaches for that same period.

What is the number of championships Saban would have to win in order to be considered better than Bryant? Honestly, I don't think the numbers should be equal. Winning in today's environment is much tougher than what it use to be. Or am I just completely wrong here?

Uh, one conference title in 12 years means DYNASTY now? Wow. Lots of dynasties around the sec.

Bryant built Bama football. It would not be what it is, a storied program Saban inherited, with Bryant and his legacy/legend. Hold off on comparisons until Saban has been there 20 yrs. Threads like this are dumb!
