re: How quickly would it take Saban to win a national championship at your school?

There is a whole lot of wishful thinking by a lot of fan bases in this thread.

Is Saban the best coach in college football? Maybe. Urban Meyer has to be in the discussion as well, but yes, Saban is either the best or 2nd best and, by far, the best in the SEC.

But, with that said, just because he's one of the 2 best coaches in college football doesn't mean he would win a National Title at your school. There is a great divide in college football between the "Cans" and "Can Nots". The "Cans" will win NC's when all the pieces come together. The "Can Nots" will never win a NC regardless of who their coach is.

There is a HUGE reason why there is a Big 6 in the SEC. These are the "Cans" programs. They have all the resources and recruiting bases in place that when they do get a "Saban" type coach they win big. All the others aren't going to win any type of championship regardless who their coach is.

This will ruffle some feathers, but until someone outside of Alabama, Auburn, Florida, Georgia, LSU, and Tennessee actually win some hardware, it's a Fact.
