But you need to post all the facts, so we can come to an informed agreement. Post the coaching tenures (Gus = 2 years, Sumlin = 6 years, etc) and the ratio of losses to Little Debbies consumed. Stop keeping us in the dark to win your argument.

He went 4 years between the last 2.

This is what's amazing to me. He had four (4) two (2) game losing streaks in his first 2 years there and only one (1) in the next 5 years. That's pretty bad arse. I wish I could say the same about my team. Instead, I've got to watch some of the idiots among our fanbase flame our former coach while missing the real story - that any other team in the conference would trade records with Saban's team over the past 6 years.

Never heard this one.

Just conspiracy theories on locker room drama tbh.

I can think of 1 SEC coach that has a 3 game win streak over Auburn and Texas A&M right now......

Is talent or coaching?


Saban's incredible record implicitly inferred by the OP can only be explained by both talent and coaching.

Thank you for the unintentional Bama fap thread.

2013--2L
2012--1L--NC
2011--1L--NC
2010--3L
2009--OL--NC

5 seasons
7 losses
3 NC

If you have a problem with that record your just a hater.

Hows your team teams record over the last 5 years?

So, it seems that the wanna-bes want to put the Bama program under a microscope. They need to worry about the mote in their own eye.

Ah, what they wouldn't have given to have a run like Bama. The thing about it, it's not over yet. They only, wish it to be. Wishing just won't make it so.

I know this is a troll but I actually found it kind of interesting as I have never thought about those loses in the context of a losing streak. Of course your phrasing is asinine in the OP when you say Saban struggles year in year out keeping his players motivated as it is nothing less than outstanding what he has been able to accomplish in the modern SEC, as the hunted, over a 6 year period. Still, these streaks are interesting to note and I don't really have an explanation. So good job at least having some substance here.

That doesn't work well with Alabama but go back a mere 8 years and it describes your football program to the motherfricking T.

You're right. Les Miles is the best coach we've ever had, and I don't care to remember any others.

It's true Les is the best LSU has ever had. Now if you can just convince the LSU folks on the TigerRant of that fact.

As we speak, Saban is analyzing this data for any common schedule factors. The S(R)EC will be adjusting Bama's schedules accordingly.
