re: For Bama Fans, Saban or Bryant

Serious answer - while these comparisons are fun, you can't overthink it. Coach Bryant is considered by most to be the greatest college football coach in history. His achievements are unmatched. Coach Saban is considered by most at this point to be the best of his era.

We don't know if these two coaches could achieve what the other did if they switched eras. You could argue that Coach Bryant would struggle to motivate today's athlete, or that Coach Saban would not be so successful in an era where his recruiting prowess would be more limited. Who knows?

Paul Bryant achieved more, if you compare careers today. We are incredibly fortunate to have both in our history. It took a horribly dark period to reset my expectations and appreciation so that I can fully enjoy the success today.
