Nice post!...and I agree.
I was born and raised in Tuscaloosa, and was there when Coach Bryant came back to coach. The fact that 1) he was the type personality that he was 2) the tremendous success he achieved there 3) the length of time as HC(25 yr), and 4) the period during which he was so dominant in the country, will all combine to form a legacy that would be impossible to match.
I personally think that Coach Saban, in his own way and strictly from a football perspective can be every bit as good, if not a better total coach than Coach Bryant, BUT he's going to have to do it for a while longer, with similar success to qualify to join that club.
