I think if y'all win again this year , it will definitely become a discussion.

He's a better coach than the Bear. But Bryant will always be number one in our hearts

The bar has been set at 6 Titles
He's on his way to just as good as the Bear.... must win 7 to be "better"

Bama fans dont like that question

Saban has already carved his own notch in the history of Bama football.Its just a #'s game now.
Bryant his era
Saban his era
Everybody else

Pretty big fan of Wade and Thomas, myself.

Better question: What would Bama fans do if Saban started wearing a houndstooth hat?

I don't like the must win six national title argument. The two eras are not even remotely the same. I think what Saban is doing is much more difficult as there are several teams in the west division alone in the top ten: then if you manage the regular season you usually face a top ten east team and then face either the first or second best team in the nation for the title. Bear didn't have to overcome those odds. Sorry Saban is already more impressive to me and it's not really close.

No. But it's sort of a Babe Ruth thing, names that are eternally fresh no matter the generation.

Bear Bryant will never be replaced in the hearts of most Of Bama Fans. Reason being he was like having a second Daddy to his players, and Like a Wise Paw Paw to the rest of us.
Saban is seen as a Disciplanarian, A teacher, and Smart. If he wins two more Nattys, he would simply match Coach Bryant' s record at 6. He can do it...but he won' t replace Bear in the hearts of the older fans, who remember him for his country nature. A great Man..

Bear had a huge recruiting advantage over Saban
Just sayin

It's a generational thing. We old folks that were around before, during and after Coach Bryant have a much greater reverence for what "Coach" accomplished. The younger crowd..not so much.
The great thing is that along with coaches Wade and Thomas, Alabama fans have the best selection to choose from of any place in America.

Bear would drink Saban under the table...
Oh, you meant better at coaching football. My bad.

Is Saban wins another and stays at Alabama until he retires . . . then he will be an equal in my eyes. The game is sooooo much different now - getting to the top of the mountain is alot more difficult now.

It is a legit question, but not yet. Bear's ability to adapt over time keeps him #1 to me.
If Saban stays another 5 years and keeps performing at the level he is now (nattys or not), then he probably gets the nod.

No. Coach Bryant played for UA and lead the Tide for 25 years.
What Saban has done is insanely impressive, but he won't ever "rank over" Coach Bryant due to the above.
