With Spurrier though, he redefined what SEC football was. For decades SEC football was the type of game saban plays. Spurrier brought a 5 wide, fun n' gun that took damn near a decade for teams to figure out.

How many teams ran a 3-4 in college football before saban got to alabama? Spurrier is to offense in the 90's what Saban is to defense today. Alabama has had a top 2 defense nationally since 2008, if that isn't special what is?

It's executing to near perfection, but running a 3-4 isn't special. I think you mistook:

Saban doesn't do anything special

as me saying saban hasn't accomplished anything special, which is absolutely not what I was saying. I was saying saban's formula is pretty standard and 100s of coaches in America use the same one: play solid defense, run the ball, limit turnovers, and be disciplined in all aspects. That's no secret, it's just he's a master at it.

Spurrier brought something to the SEC that people hadn't seen and couldn't figure out, and took 5 or 6 years to finally catch up to it.
