Nebraska / Saban: Let's not kid ourselves

Would never happen but if Saban were to come to Nebraska, he would have that program turned around in about 3-4 years max. The thing with the B1G is that there's only room for one team to recruit the area and given that recruiting is now a national scene, Saban would bring in all the recruits and Ohio State would become Michigan in short order (2nd fiddle in the B1G). As shitty of a place that Lincoln (or all of Nebraska) is, Saban would bring them in even at age 70. He is absolutely the only person who could do this.

I'm not so sure..A name can only carry you so far. The demographics of college football has changed so much that some programs that used to be really good can't dominate in the same way, Nebraska may be the best example.
Lincoln is in the middle of no where and they are the most distance school from the league that they are in. They no loner get to recruit in Texas like they used to and the kids have a lot more "fun" places to go to school.
The players going to college these days don't remember or car about Nebraska's past.
Maybe with NIL and unrestricted transfers some of the Nebraska fat cats can over pay on endorsements to entice better players to attend the school.

Saban would win a national title anywhere, but Georgia.

This is a proud historic football program and you are simplifying this into ridiculousness. Nebraska has screwed up their coaching. Scott Frost is a very bad head coach. If you get a great coach, they will come.

Lincoln is not the hellscape people on here pretend it to be. It's a college town, like lots of other college towns. It's just across the border from IA and MO and a short trip down the highway from Omaha. Good lord....

The only place Saban would have been as successful as he is is Alabama. We are a football factory, and everything we have is better than what you have. He’ll be gone, and within 20-30 seasons, another like him or Bear will come along. All Bama has to do is secure a top 3 coach at all times, the Bama name will do the rest & make them a legend.
18 national titles son, your schools won’t even get half that during your lifetime.

Saban didn't win a championship at Michigan State so it is definitely not a guarantee that he would win one at Nebraska. Saban is the GOAT. But unless you are telling me that he improved greatly as a Coach after he left Michigan State then it is sure not a guarantee that he would win a championship at Nebraska.

Nick can do a lot of things but he can’t change the fact that Lincoln, Nebraska is Lincoln, Nebraska.

Could have stopped there---but even in fantasy
land, all the King's horses and all the King's men,
could not put Nebraska back together again, at
least not on the scale as Saban at Alabama.

Saban could go to like 40 programs and win a natty. He has won 7 nattys and likely has one or two more in him.

He may help get NEB turned around, but no way does OSU fall back. They will be a force until Day leaves for the NFL.

You’re out of your mind

Nebraska needs to find some boosters willing to pay tuition for walkons. Pay even more for preferred walkons. Bring back their succesful walkon program.

Saban announced he is leaving tomorrow and with the new transfer rules half of Bama follows him and he wins whatever conference in two years
