Bear Bryant coached 76 games in his first 7 seasons with the Tide (1958-1964). In that time frame, he amassed a record of 60-11-5. A winning percentage of .833. In that same time frame, he won 2 SEC championships and 2 national championships. He was also 3-2-1 in bowl games.

Nick Saban, assuming he wins the Sugar Bowl in January, will have coached 94 games in his first 7 seasons with the Tide (2007-2013). In that time frame, he will have amassed a record of 80-14. A winning percentage of .851. In that same time frame, he has won 2 SEC championships and 3 national championships. He will be 6-1 in bowl games should he win the Sugar Bowl in January.

Over 30 years after his death, and Coach Bryant is still the standard to which all other coaches are compared.
