re: Paul Bryant -vs- Nick Saban

If Saban coaches at Alabama for the next 22 years and wins 7 national championships during his time with Alabama will he go down as Alabama's best and most beloved coach or will it still be the Bear?

I understand that your question is an "if", but I just don't see that happening. The game is far more competitive than it was in the Bear's heyday.

That said, if he posts that kind of record, I'd have to argue that he is the more able coach. It's just tougher to dominate now than it used to be.
