If you could have one for the next ten years (assuming Bear Bryant was in his prime) which would you take?

Having to choose between possible the two greatest coaches of all time. Sucks to be an Alabama fan.

The Bear would have trouble with the media of today. If you are asking which was/is better in their own era then you have a good debate brewing. I say if Saban wins one more you may to give him the nod. Several of Bryant's NCs were split. But then you have to reconcile 13 SECs. I don't think anyone will ever approach that again. Think about how impossible that would be even if you compensated somehow for the extra 4 teams.
It might be debated for the next 100 years.

Not primarily Alabama fan , but responding anyway! Nothing, imho, was more intimidating than seeing Bear stalk the sidelines, with a cigarette in his hand and fire shooting from his eyes.

Saban is the answer to this particular question. Even though I rank Bryant higher, who knows how he would do today?

Everyone is replying sarcastically because they are too young to even know jack squat about Bear Bryant.

Saban is a proven commodity in this age of college football. That would make sense don't you think?
