What I am standing by, and that no one one in this thread has disproved, is that the Bear was a giant bully who succeeded by using tactics that simply would not be acceptable today. I personally think Nick Saban is a much better coach because he succeeds within a modern game where you just can't bully the players to near death. I think if the Bear coached in the modern era given our rules and sensibilities he would at best be a marginal coach and at worst would have been excommunicated from the profession for player abuse.
Let me make sure I've got this right....
Coach Bryant was successful because he bullied his players, AND he wouldn't be anything more than just a marginal coach in today's game....that's about it, right?

This'll go a long way in determining the degree of seriousness in which to consider your opinion in the future...you've been very helpful.

Kinda. My point was Nick Saban should be considered the better coach because the way Bear coached simply would be unacceptable given modern sensibilities. Bear would be a marginal coach because his tactics wouldn't allow him to have a steady career in the modern game. That is my point.

I mean, Bear won a ton of titles so only a moron would argue within his era he sucked. What I am saying is I have very little respect for that era or his legacy given what someone like Nick can do without being a bully to players.

bullshite, you will make up your mind after this stupid thread that I am a degenerate at best or pond scum at the worst. Nothing I could say can change that and frankly I don't care because I LIKE modern football. I don't care about an era when the biggest and nastiest players on the field (almost) always won, nor will I respect a coach that is highly regarded due to the accomplishments achieved in that era. Nick Saban is the best coach of all-time period.
