re: Tony Barnhart on Saban to Texas (and other stuff)

I think it depends on what you look for in a job that determines which one is better.

First off, it's not in the SEC and the competition that Saban supposedly loves takes quite a hit once you enter the Big 12. There is NOTHING like the SEC atmosphere and competition.

They have both won close to the same amount of games (though Texas has a slightly higher winning %), but Bama has more NCs (even more if you count the ones that nobody counts except the Bama fans...had to do it). They both have good tradition, but Bama has Bear and Forrest Gump, so I'm giving Bama the edge. By the way, I had no idea Texas' stadium held over 100,000 people until recently. People barely ever talk about their stadium.


Yes, for recruiting purposes and winning a hell of a lot easier, I think Texas is better.
Financially, nobody can touch Texas either. They are #1 there. I think LSU was the only other program in the SEC valued at over 100 million dollars and they are still about 30 million away from Texas.

I still think Bama is the better job and I think their fans are more hardcore.
