Those are all sought after hc jobs but Bama is undeniably the top dog in the sec. Both currently and traditionally. If you think otherwise you're kidding yourself.

better recruiting base (easier to get into Georgia and Florida).

Disagree, LSU can go into texas more easily than Bama, its fairly even IMO.

Add that to the fact that he has more experience,

The sole reason Nick Saban is better at Alabama is he is much more experienced. He blew a lot of easy games at LSU, and some in his early days at Alabama. But there is nothing about Alabama's program that is better than LSU's. well, other than history, but that history also includes a frickton of cheating as well.

"Simple - they own the SEC office.

One penalty.

No need to say more. "

No kids to raise


You may actually be on to something here. I remember when he was at LSU he'd sometimes slip in a remark here or there about how it would be so much easier to coach in the NFL than college because college coaches have to be away from their families so much during the week while out recruiting. No surprise that he spent so much of his time looking for an NFL job while at LSU. Now, at Bama, his kids are grown up and moved out, and he doesn't have the NFL distraction any more to worry about either...

I would argue that Bama is a worse job than LSU.
1. Fanbase is most delusional ever
2. Have an SEC school in state to battle with
3. Louisiana has more in-state talent
4. Their admin will fire you for going 9-3 in your 3rd year

I've got news for gump nation. When Saban leaves you will undoubtedly train wreck your program for years because of how delusional you are. The only thing that saved bama from becoming the poster child of what not to do was nick fricking Saban. And they didn't happen upon st nick... We made that hire, not their lunatic fringe. They at least recognized a superior coach when he napalmed their asses every time we played you. Had it not been for the Miami debacle you guys would still be burning through coaches like Jerry jones.

There arent many nick sabans in coaching. Once he leaves your program U guys will spend many years wandering in the coaching forest.

B/C it's the Bama factor. Any coach should be better at Bama than anywhere else that is more inferior.

Also, he has had the easiest OOC schedule

LSU being on the schedule every year makes this more or less moot.

If we can't beat a tough OOC schedule, there's no way in frick we beat LSU.

That aside, Mississippi State and Auburn are going to have a better defense than the average tough OOC school, so we get the benefit of having our offense tested and seasoned 2-3 times per year even if we play Florida Atlantic in every OOC game.

You know, this ratio is probably a really good thing.
