I agree with this. Saban's record here compares very favorably with Dietzel's. Both won a national championship. Both led LSU to two wins in current BCS Bowls (Saban 2 Sugar wins and Dietzel a Sugar win and an Orange win.) Saban has a significantly higher win percentage (.750 vs. .630) and more wins total over five seasons than Dietzel over seven. That last statistic is skewed somewhat because we played more games each season under Saban but it's still noteworthy.

If Dietzel is in our Hall of Fame, Saban should be there too. But only after he leaves Alabama (and the SEC entirely) and only after Les Miles is inducted. I think that's reasonable.
