Can't argue with Coach Donahue. His longevity and sustained excellence speak for themselves. The biggest reason I didn't name him was the offenses of that era weren't as multiple or complex as today's are.

That's true enough. I personally think its a lot more fun to remember them for their greatness and accomplishments than to try and measure them against each other.

I remember when Coach Donahue went home to Tennessee and won an SEC title for Johnny Majors. Man, that stung as a Bama fan. He put some good defenses on the field for the viles. In the early 90s, he was again living in the Tuscaloosa area, and it has been written that he helped scheme the 92 defensive gameplan against Miami with coach Oliver. He was a very smart defensive coach of any era and truly one of our best of the best.
