So Alabama been on top throughout history?

1923-1945 Wallace Wade, Frank Thomas HCs:

- 4 NCs
- 8 conf championships (4 Southern, 4 SEC)
- 82.1 win %, highest in the country
- 4-1-1 in Rose Bowl vs PAC, rest of country combined 5-12

1946-1957 Drew, Whitworth HCs

- won 1 SEC title
- won 53.5% of its games

From 1958-1982, Bryant HC:

- 6 NCs
- 13 SEC titles
- 80.4 win %, highest in the country

1983-1996 Perkins, Curry, Stallings HC:

- 1 NC
- 2 SEC titles, 4 SECC game appearances
- 6 10 win seasons
- 75.4 win %, 6th in the country

1997-2007 (severe scholarship reductions) DuBose, Franchione, Shula, Saban year 1 HCs:

- 1 SEC title
- 3 10 win seasons
- 56.4 win %

2008-2020 Saban HC. (The following in the toughest division of the toughest conf in the nation.)

- 5 NCs
- 6 SEC titles, 7 SECC game appearances
- 12 10 win seasons, 4 undefeated reg seasons, 6 1 loss reg seasons.
- 90.1 win %, 2nd is 84.6
- 70+ win % vs ranked, top 10, top 5 teams.

That is 68 years of the past 97 with a coach who won more than 80% of games. They have the highest win % and the most games won, 818. OU is 2nd with 771, 2nd in SEC UTe 729, UGA 721, LSU 693, UF 660, AU 641.

Even in their 2 down periods for a total of 23 years they won 2 SEC titles.

They have 5 coaches who coached 6 years or more and won more than 80% of their games at Alabama. No other SEC program has even one coach at 80% except UF who has 2, Spurrier and Meyer and UT who has one, Neyland. Most programs are fortunate to have one or 2 who have a win % at 70% or more after 6 or more years.
