Could Saban recruit, and win championships, anywhere in the SEC?

Could he do it at Mississippi State? Kentucky? Vandy? Ole Miss?

I think he could do it at SCAR, UGA, Florida, A&M, Tennessee, Auburn.

He's already done it at LSU.

But what about at MSU, KY, Vandy and Ole Miss? Mizzou?

Could he do it at Arkansas?

Yes.

Not as consistently as he has at Bama, but he'd still win multiple titles and have some of the best classes every year.

he certainly couldn't do it with the same consistancy, and that's not a knock on his ability, because he's certainly one of the best ever, but is there another university in the SEC that has the voter clout to get a rematch in the title game?

I expect he could win a championship here and there, but not with any regularity like he does at bama.

Saban has proven he can when a championship at another school. He could likely win it at several schools so long as he had the resources to higher a high quality staff. So the schools you mentioned certainly would be possible. I do think Saban gets more credit than he deserves, being at Alabama matters and Saban has taken full advantage of that fact.

I am not sure the administration at UGA would give him the blank check that he received at Bama.

People are constantly nagging Richt about not doing enough at UGA, but he has had to put up with more bullshite from an administration standpoint than any other headcoach in the SEC , barring possibly Vandy.

Honestly, at the non-power programs he might win a conference championship or two. Some places are just too tough to win at that level (championship).

Yes. It may take him slightly longer at Kentucky or Vandy than a traditional football school, but he would be able to do it. Programs and fans would be ecstatic about having him and recruits flock to him because of how good he's been. I think he'd win a national championship at every school within 5-10 years of whatever program he took over.

Have the Gamecocks won a championship since he has been there? Or do you have faith that he will?


Saban coached at SCAR?

When did that happen? I must have missed that one along the way.

And yeah, if Saban were to follow Holtz and Spurrier, he would eventually dominate at SCAR far more than Spurrier has managed to do because he'd come-in to a great situation compared to what Holtz and Spurrier inherited.

Frick yeah ... Saban would rock at SCAR. It'll never happen, but he would.

Maybe he could recruit a few key players, but the money is longer at Bama. That is what separates Bama from the rest of the schools.

NO - He would have great teams, but not championship caliber every year.

At risk of giving Arky too much credit, but Saban + Walmart money could recruit top notch, i.e. NCs.

MSU, Ole Miss, Mizzou: Yes

UK, Vandy: That'd be tough. I'm siding with no
