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?

So you choose 3 games out of the mans career to question his coaching abilities? Im not buying this nonsense that Saban is only good cause he can recruit. Ogregon can recruit his butt off, but you dont see teams busting down the door to hire him as a HC.

Did not Saban and his "coaching abilities" close out the following games:

2012 SEC Title Game
2012 LSU
2008 LSU
2013 TAMU

Werent those teams on par as far as talent with Bama at the time?

You win close game and you lose them
