Bear won a NC as a player, coached a Heisman winner AND a future NC winning Bama coach. Smashed Auburn with a record that I believe was 19-6 over 25 years.....I could go on but I'm too lazy.
Bear Bryant also did pretty much what ever the frick he wanted to because there were basically no rules back in those days. Bear Bryant would just gobble up all the top players from the south and during the season Alabama would have 7,000 players on the sideline.

Four under Saban this year. Where will that put his legacy in relation to the Bear?
I would put Saban above Bear bc Saban did it without the benefit of paying players...

Well, I guess they are about the same.

If you don't think there's more parity when teams go from 130 players to 85, then you just don't get it.

Harder to win a NC now with parity.

Also tougher to recruit these days. Everyone plays on TV every week these days.

That didn't take long.
Your boys played well yesterday. I feel way less comfortable about the iron bowl as I did 2 weeks ago.

I've been comfortable in this year's IB since about 10 minutes after the Kick 6. Have you met Saban? Revenge is nigh.

I don't disagree, but I think we are a dangerous team for bama now. Nothing to play for but fricking y'all's nc chance.

Bear Bryant after 7 seasons
60-11-5 (2 national championships) 76 games, should have been 3 NC including 1966
Throw out the ties... ~82%
Nick Saban after 7 seasons
79-15 (3 national championships) 94 games ~81%

Auburn had truly nothing to play for in 2011 and 2012 as well. Those did not end pretty.
In 2010 and 2013 Auburn had everything to play for and it showed. I expect the same result this year with "nothing to play for".

Well, Well, Well, I guess you are just retarded, right? If Bryant paid players, every coach pretty much paid players in the 50's, 60's, and 70's.
If Saban doesn't pay players in the 1990's and 2000's, then probably no other coaches are paying players in this era either.
Go back to the Opelika Wal-greens and wait on your fat cow cankled step-wife to end her shift.

Well the personal attack wasn't necessary, but yeah that is basically what I was getting at. Bear Bryant was a smart man. He was better at doing this than most other coaches. He could sell the program, have a ton of scholarship players, and still convince more to sign with Bama. Bear Bryant was like a CEO.
As were all of Alabama's other major foes at the time. Get over it. Sure, not little crappy SEC teams, other than maybe Tennessee for a limited amount of time could handle Alabama but, many other national brands could and did.
Bama competed just like they did. Just like Notre Dame, just like Michigan, just like USC, just like Texas, just like Oklahoma, and just like other big boys.
What many don't realize is that Alabama was not all that concerned with the SEC or the South.
Alabama was competing for national recognition and played the game just as well as anyone.

frick off, please? As long as Plainsmen wish to claim that Bryant was some radical cheater, unknown to his age, I'll continue to ridicule you and him and them.
Hey, guess what, coaches drank whiskey back then too and it wasn't just Bryant doing it.
Although, listening to a PigHearder from Opelika, you would think that their beloved Coach Shuggy wasn't a slobbering drunk but, guess what, he was by today's standards.

Saban doesn't have that privilege. He has to go against just about every SEC team on top of all the other national brands.

Yeah this was my point, which is why I said Bryant dominated recruiting in the south. Jesus dude.

Don't you see that no other coaches back then had to fight any harder than Bryant did to be successful?
If Saban has to go against every other SEC team, in death matches, so do other SEC teams whereas they didn't used to have to do that in Bryant's time.
My theory is that everything in it's own time is equal.
