8 DC years under saban.
By a lot.
Due to jumping between college and NFL, and no college version of himself for Nick to just photo-copy his college approach from, I disagree
Saban had to figure out how to succeed at the college level with trial and error. Kirby got to just watch what Saban did and copy/paste it at a program in better shape than what Saban received at Bama

2006 was not far from 10 wins, just like uga 2015 wasn’t far from 6 wins.
What’s your point here. 6+4 = 10?

They are MUCH closer than you are willing to admit.
Clemson has 4 less wins than UGA…I guess they’re not that far from UGA’s success as well lol

Saban isn't an island nor is he the first college coach to have considerable success. Everyone comes from somewhere and in time makes their own legacy.
Bama has the biggest and best history in CFB as you Bammers love to remind us. And I agree as as a neutral fan. Saban wasn't coaching at Troy let's get real here.
This whole thread is turning into dick measuring minutia based on overly subjective criteria

Your take is absurd:
He had his own 5 year MSU college version to learn from.
He had his own 5 year LSU college version to learn from.
He also had his own 2 year Miami NFL version to learn from.
Add it up, That’s 12 years of HC experience to learn from, which is far more than the 0 Kirby had.

Change 2 coin flip games from each team and you get 8-4 for both.

Not as crazy as you think it is as Clemson 23 is a huge underachiever who should be no less than 10-1 right now.
