How is what Saban did against Chizik and Tuberville relevant to today? The current head coaches have met 1 time and that meeting was won by Malzahn.

If you make an apple to apple comparison and compare Malzahn's first year at Auburn to Saban's first year at Alabama, there really isn't much of a comparison.

Saban went to the fricking Poulan Weedeater Bowl down in Shreveport his first year at Alabama. Malzahn went to the BCS championship his first year at Auburn

Congrats? I guess?

If you wanted to make this argument about this year, you should have done so. You didn't. This was your post in this thread:

lol at bammers claiming they have been far superior to Auburn in recent years. Auburn has more SEC championships than any conference team over the last decade and more undefeated seasons than any team in college football over the same time period.

Even if you just go by Saban's tenure, Auburn has the same number of conference championships, same number of undefeated seasons, 1 less appearance in BCS championship, and trail by 1 game in head to head competition


Make up your mind. What do you want to argue about? Are we talking about Chizik and Tuberville, or not? You're the one that brought up Saban's tenure - which, in fact, does include Tuberville and Chizik.

Saban also took over a depleted Bama squad that only got its full compliment of scollys back that year and had a worse attitude and bigger issues than 2012 AU squad. Gus is working with players that he actually recruited for his own system. Big difference
