Sure you can. 10 win season at Bowling Green. Undefeated BCS season at Utah. 2 BCS titles at UF. Undefeated first season at Ohio State.


No, you can't. Saban won 9 games in his first season as a head coach at Toledo. He turned a program mired in scandal and destroyed by NCAA sanctions at Michigan State into a winner and bowl contender. He won the SEC in his second season at LSU and shortly thereafter won a national title. He has since won three more despite taking a two-year hiatus and rebuilding yet another program. It's quite reasonable to think Meyer might have no titles at all had Saban stayed at LSU.

Destroyed by NCAA sanctions? Revisionist history much? Michigan State was on probation for four years and lost 9 scholarships. They certainly weren't destroyed by sanctions. Now SMU? They were destroyed by their sanctions and Penn State and USC were hit very hard.
