My comments are fair. Saban is a pretty average gameday coach. He doesn't screw up and get bama beat, but he isn't gonna make great in game adjustments to win a game bama is losing often either.

There's only one coach you listed that even makes a case for an argument. Sumlin has had a roller coaster career. Malzahn has two seasons as a head coach. And Mullen hasn't beaten a divisional team other than Ole Miss or Arkansas.

When your defense leads the SEC in total defense every single year, I'd say you are just a little above average as a gameday coach.

A&M was beating the shite out of Bama in 2012. Saban adjusted well in that game and Bama nearly pulled it out. UGA took control of the SEC title game in 2012. Saban adjusted and won the game. Other than 2010 USC and 2008 Utah Bama has not been beatdown under Saban. He adjusts just fine most of the time. Seems to me Malzahn did a shitty job adjusting to what FSU threw at him in the 2nd half of the title game. How come he takes no flack for that meltdown?
