What Kind Of Success Would Saban Have to Have in the NFL to consider him one of the greatest coaches of all? We all know he is the King of college football, but ok in the pros would a Superbowl be necessary for you to consider him the greatest Football Coach of all time period?

First year super bowl for Browns then retired. Best coach ever and will never forget him.

some would say that if the Dolphins would have let him get Brees instead of Culpepper, he would still be in miami.

As a bigger LSU fan i wish he had stayed obviously, the Saints could never win another game and i wouldn't give two shits.

On a level playing field it is hard to say. I believe his team would be a constant playoff contender if he has a competent front office. There are worse coaches than Saban winning games in the NFL right now.

I think his personality is better for college and he prefers the complete control.

That's my biggest question with Saban. I have major doubts about his QB evaluation skills. He's recruited two top-level college QBs in 15 years at LSU and Alabama. Those two QBs are obviously JaMarcus Russell and AJ McCarron. Jalen Hurts looks like he'll be the third but the jury's still very much out on him. It's really hard to win championships with Matt Mauck and Jake Coker-level QBs in the NFL. It's not impossible but it's very rare and you usually need a staggering amount of defensive talent to do it (2000 Ravens, 2015 Broncos).

His style doesn't work in the NFL. You can't threaten grown men and threaten to pull their scholarships like you can in college. He'd end up getting his little arse choke slammed pulling some of that shite in the NFL.

What kind of success would LSU have to have in college football to make them not defer to the NFL in every other thread?

He'd have to not forever frick up the team he ultimately leaves. Outside of that one 11-5 season, it's been tough sledding for the aquatic mammals.

Something to consider is the fact that when he went to the dolphins he really didn't have the same reputation that he has now. He was just another college coach with a BCS ring trying to jump into the pros. Now everybody in the NFL knows about the process and that it works. Saban isn't just another coach peddling a dumb motivation technique, he's a known commodity, almost a living legend. Even professional players with a chip on their shoulder would listen to him now.

I'm just glad he doesn't give a damn about trying to prove a bunch of message board morons wrong.

He might as well stay in college and win 10 NC's if he coached long enough he can probably best Wooden

OK forgot hindsight for a minute and consider this: you can sign 1 of 2 QBs; 1 just had knee surgery and 1 just had shoulder surgery (throwing arm)...who do you pick? Yep Culpepper every time

This is just dumb. First off, getting your QB drafted and in the NFL is damn hard. Second, you could argue he go the best out of QBs considering how well all his QBs have played and third, you forgot Joe Flacco, Eli Manning and Brad Johnson won Super Bowls.

Oh i agree. Its most logical choice. But He wanted Brees. Dolphins didnt wanna take the chance. Their loss. I'm not complaining. I got to see my favorite team win a Super Bowl
