re: Bama has 1 NC in the AP/Coaches Polls era since 1936 without Bear Bryant or Nick Saban

Outside of the two greatest, Alabama is pedestrian AF.

Which is a shock to Alabama fans as they believe it’s not the coaches, it’s bc their “Alabama”

Im not surprised that bama fans don't get the point-but many other posters here seem to miss the obvious.

Are they that stupid or just pretending?

An eye opening exercise would be to compare the worst periods of each SEC program and see how they compare. Maybe comparing the low points of programs will actually be more telling than comparing the high spots.

If you remove Bryant’s and Saban’s tenures at Alabama, you are left with 23 seasons. During these 23 years, Alabama had:

Nine 10 win or better seasons
One undefeated season
One national championship
Five SEC West crowns
Three SEC championships

So, how did other programs do during their worst periods?

Let’s compare the 26 years that Mcclendon, Stovall, and Hallman coached at LSU. Even though we are spotting them a couple more seasons, it looks rough. LSU had:

Zero 10 win seasons
One SEC championship
Zero national championships

Interesting that an LSU fan started this thread in light of this.
