When you think about the 2010 Iron Bowl, 2011 Bama vs LSU, and 2013 Iron Bowl, all three games exemplify when Saban was unable to out-talent the opponent and his coaching abilities failed to close out the game. When Saban is unable to out-talent opponents, does he fall apart?


Interesting thoughts, but I give this a snowball's chance in hell of becoming a reasonable discussion on here.

It's not like he was Mr. America at MSU or did anything worht a shite in Miami. Those two teams don't have a recruiting base like LSU and Bama.

Saban has long been guilty of getting a lead and sitting on it, letting far inferior teams hang around by going conservative actually somewhat similar to miles in that aspect

I guess it's more of the approach, it's very anti-spurrier at UF

To be fair, wouldn't that mean he defeated an equally talented team 21-0?

Was 2009 Florida an untalented team? 32-13 isn't a good win either? Or 2012 UGA?

Think about when Saban and Tuberville were playing each other at LSU and Auburn respectively. Tub's thought (and probably still thinks) he was better than Saban and his players bought in. Gus has brought that belief back to Auburn and the end result was a very evenly matched Iron Bowl.

Coaches and teams that are intimidated by the Bama mystique will get destroyed but if you play Bama mano y mano you'll win everytime. They're essentially bullies who crumble when someone stands up to them
