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.

I guess the TS doesn't realize that you can take Bryant and Saban away and Bama still has more natties than LSU.

There’s 45 seasons removing their tenure from pol era 1936-present.

Looks like you chose the seasons between Bryant to Saban as the “worst” for Alabama. Which 1936 to Bryant (1958), was the worst stretch.

But let’s compare 1936-present, removing best coaches. Alabama (Bryant / Saban) to LSU removing (Dietzel / McClendon / Saban / Miles )this also keeps amount of seasons being compared similar (42 seasons to 45) and removing multiple 10win season, SEC titles, and NC for LSU but keeping worst period of 90s.

Alabama
Win %63
1 NC
5 sec
10win - 10

LSU
Win %59
1 NC
5 sec
10win - 6
