Here's your answer, brass tacks. 60 Minutes three years ago did a documentation of why Bama is so STRONG.

Cochran is a pretty well-known factor. I've always said that if I could take any coach from Bama and it couldn't be Saban, I'd absolutely take Cochran. I think Bama fans were even a bit nervous when it looked like Smart might be able to lure Cochran over to UGA with him.

You are delusional and I can't help you. Enjoy Saban's success. When he is gone, you will then appreciate how great he was.

Schools Saban could have had the same success at at this point in his career after his NFL-Miami stint:

Texas
Oklahoma
Ohio State
Michigan
USC
Georgia
Auburn
Tennessee
LSU
Florida
Florida State
Notre Dame
Penn St.


Those are the programs that have resources, recruiting (either regionally or nationally), tradition to build on, and the ability to maintain success over a period of time.

Saban would have turned any of them into what Alabama is now. We all remember what Alabama was under the "Mikes." Nothing special at all. Sorry if you don't agree. I get that you disagree. This is my opinion. I don't feel like arguing with you. I'm just stating it.

Dude. Read.

I said it was either something illegitimate or something legitimate - and then went on to praise Cochran and the Alabama system under Saban, which is what the article was about. If I wanted to say it was steroids, I would not have posted the article.

You get this stuff from Forbes and Men's Health and never from ESPN or sports journalists who have no idea what they are doing anymore.

Sadly, this may be the most accurate statement ever written on the SECr.

I did read.

In the future don't praise someone and in the same breath contemplate if it is done legally. You are welcome to do it again, but don't get all pissy when responses don't take your praise as anything but a flame.

Because Saban can hand out $$ and cars all day long thanks to his affair with Mark Emmert dating back to LSU. They made each others career. Its that simple

Actually this year's Oline isn't as physically strong as past Olines according to Kiffin.

I'm no more delusional than you, I just respectfully disagree with the majority of your points in this thread.

Strength is certainly a big part of the process but it is the whole program and having everyone buy in to it. Tradition and pride help too.
Determination and the will to finish are a mindset that must be coached constantly to be consistent. A business-like attitude that leads to strong concentration on the right goals is also part of the process.
Alabama football is a machine, we are proud of it and enjoying the ride.

Think whatever you want. The article was incredible. That is what I linked to. I said that Alabama was either doing this with steroids or with what was in the article - Cochran's approach. Obviously, the context of the post sided with Cochran. I was clear.

I was actually praising Alabama. I'm not pissy - just responding to the poor sport Bama fans on this board.

I can respect Saban and what he is doing with the Alabama football team. Who doesn't? But, that doesn't mean I'll give an inch to entitled Bama fans who think they are superior because of what Saban is accomplishing.

Nick Saban currently has a 25 game winning streak. Gene Stallings won 28 Games in a row.

Alabama has had multiple periods of dominance with multiple coaches.

Saban has never dominated outside of his stint with Alabama.

I know you people hope that it's all Saban and that when he hangs it up LSU will be able to consistently compete.

In reality the only reason LSU was able to compete was because of Bama's probation. Immediately when Bama came off probation and landed the 08 monster recruiting class it the dominance resumed.


Even with Nick Saban at LSU, Alabama beat LSU 31-0 one year and he only had 1 season with less than 3 loses.

Such a subtle troll. Nothing more, nothing less.

You are a hoot. And you're pissy, despite your denial.

And jelly.
