Spurrier has won 2 COYs at USC and this is the glory days of USC football right now.
And what he's done was started by what Holtz did. Franklin started from scratch and did it himself.

When Spurrier wins 9 games this season, he wlil have more wins at USC than the last three coaches combines...and in 6 fewer seasons.
If you're just comparing him to his predecessors, Franklin stacks up just as well. Spurrier has won a ton of games obviously, but has only 1 division title to show for it.
Franklin took over a 2-10 vandy team and went 6-7 with a win over ole miss. For vandy, that's a big win. Then went 9-4 with wins over Missouri, auburn, Tennessee, and NC State in a bowl game. Went 9-4 again with wins over UGA, UF, UT, and a bowl game. That's like the vandy equivalent of a BCS win. And like I said, he did that from scratch. Spurrier came into a good situation.

Holtz didnt do shite. He maintained the status quo. He was the last of 4 coaches to get fired after either 5 or 6 seasons.
He has a worse winning % than Sparky Woods at USC. His last three seasons were 5-6, 5-6, and 4-7.
Everything USC is today is bec of Spurrier.

Saban to Bama is a no brainer.
Besides what he has accomplished on the field, look at the financial impact he has had.
No one else is close.
