What traditionally average/bad program would Nick Saban do the most damage at TODAY?

I think Kentucky, given that stoops has shown it’s somewhat possible in the 21st century.

Just by name alone, Saban gets some of the best players in the southeast regardless of where he lands.

None. He ain't got the juice anymore.

2017 is the last real title that he's won.

Nick is a hardass and the bama kids not only bought into it but embraced it. And these were star players who were probably used to getting their way due to their talent, Nick didn’t have a problem sending them to the bench if they didn’t toe the line.

With all the money floating around can he find players like this now? Apparently he felt like the ways were over when he left. I don’t see him coaching again.

Vt, they have fan support, talent rich area, and the closest thing to a recruiting power near you is Penn st. UCLA, enough talent very wealthy alums. Probably throw Smu Smu n there as well. Unc atm usce as well

He's admitted that if he can't cheat, he can't win.

I would like to see what he could do at Arkansas.

Arkansas hasn't had an authority figure of a head coach since Petrino. They need someone that can keep the dumbasses in line, tell them what to do.

The donations from hog fans both rich and poor would go up tremendously.

Texas Tech or Miami.

If they’re both playing hardball with NIL you put him in an easy conference with a ton of instate talent and he’d have them in the playoffs within 2 years.

I think it would have to be somewhere it could not get much worse. Nebraska also comes to mind.

Have to say A&M. So much money donated, and such little results. Maybe it is in their blood to lose, and nothing can be done about it. They have some missing piece.

It’d be funny to see Saban take a job at GT to frick w Kirby.

You take on an SEC gauntlet just to cap off your regular season every year against Saban. Sounds like absolute hell. He’d recruit well too.

Stoops has done a good job of showing 7-5 is possible at Kentucky.

In his defense, he did win 10 twice.
