re: Gumps, if you had to pick a coach for ONE game

I would not want either for one game. What made Bryant great and makes Saban great is not something that would work for one game. Kids run thru a brick wall for them because of the trust and relationship. They said it could be done so the kids does not ask but simply does what the coach told them would work.

That level of relationship takes a huge time investment. Neither are "THE BEST" at in game adjustments without the foundation having been put in place for those adjustments months earlier. They won because of prep work not fancy adjustments on the fly.
