And that sport...does it pay its own way, or does it rely on another sport to cover its expenses? Does that sport generate TV contract revenue for the conference/school, or does the vast majority not give a shite about it?
What about parity? Does the sport have any or it, or is it basically the water equivalent of women's basketball?
my point - an SEC mount rushmore would/should only have coaches from the big 3 sports on it.

Spurrier should be on there

Rupp and Bear are the only two undebatables. The rest y'all can bicker about. Saban and Cal will be pretty damn deserving by the end of their tenures.

Adolph Rupp had 4 NCAA Championships, but also had a Helms Title before the NCAA was "the" national championship (North Carolina claims their Helms) and also had an NIT Championship when it was at the height of it's popularity (and considered > NCAA). He also won an Olympic Gold Medal as an Asst. Coach for the 1948 team.
He's right up there.

can they carve his white hood into the mountain?
All kidding aside too much baggage to honor him. Just be removing it in 30 years like Lee's Circle

Summitt and I bet if he were asked even Saban would say so.

Saban over three of those...not Bear.
That's just plain stupid...
Bertman dominated college baseball for over a decade. Pat did more for sports than the other 3 plus won more games than any other basketball coach ever. Including Rupp and a crap load of others. Bear is Bear BUT one could argue Saban over him especially since we know Bear would likely struggle today with scholly limits and what football has become.

The award was created by one of his players.

And I noticed that Frank Thomas doesn't have any recognized by the NCAA so I guess he's out too.

There is more parity in swim and dive than there is in football.

Well, speaking of stupid. Bear would beat you with your players.
The SEC is football and only one coach is even close to Saban.

You're funny. Bear used to get any and all players he wanted. Football has so much more parity today than anytime in the history of football. Bear was no doubt great. Bertman and Summitt could do the same -beat you with your players - as you stated with Bear. Both of them did the same for their respective sports. So what's your freakin point.
Saban has multiple national championships (as did Bertman - while at Miami) in a time where the game is decided in more than a popularity contest. Look at the 78 or 79 split with SC as an example. BCS and playoffs have changed it all. Saban did it in tougher competition and won at 2 schools mind you which Bear couldn't do at TAMu or Kentucky. How many does each really have? Saban championships are more legit in my mind and that's not disrespecting anything Bear did.
Bear had underlings like McClendon at LSU and could take advantage of that as he taught them.
Different times for sure , but I go with Saban on rebuilding LSU and Bama as far as programs and facilities. Look around campus and you can see why happened at both schools.
