re: Why are Saban coached teams incapable of playing with the lead?

I at you. He's statue worthy because all coaches that win national titles at the Capstone get and deserve one. Not something easy to do. Also know this tiger chaser, and this is for tiger chaser only, if his overrated self doesn't come to Death Valley, guess where your football team is right now??? Thanks and have a nice day.

Because Saban is overrated...LSU fans tried to tell you guys this before, but nobody wanted to listen...all you wanted to do was start counting how many National Titles you would win....still a good coach, but not what everybody tried to make him out to be....NOT STATUE WORTHY

I'm sorry, but how is Saban overrated? The guy just finished going undefeated in the SEC the last 2 regular seasons after inheriting a mess at Bama. No Coach is going to go undefeated every single year, esp in a league that is as competitive as the SEC. Bama, LSU, AU, UF, UGA, etc are always clawing at one another trying to gain conference supremecy. It's cyclical. Bama will be a good team again next year. They will likely have a hiccup or two b/c they'll be starting a new QB, but they will still be a 9 win team at worst. I agree that Saban is a great builder of programs, but I also believe he can also be a great maintainer. Just look at how loaded he left LSU when he went to Miami. We were absolutely stacked for 3 years. Bama can look fwd to the same.
