Check his Michigan State record of championships and you will have your answer.
Maybe you expect every one to be at the top of their profession from day 1 or be considered a failure, but that's just not real life.
Besides 1 year at Toledo a decade before he was at Michigan State, this was his first real head coaching job. I think it's safe to say he's come along as a coach since his time at MSU. Also the folks at LSU obviously thought he did enough at MSU to deserve a shot. Paid off well in the short time period he was at LSU.
And I also think it's safe to say he is a much better coach today than even when he was at LSU.
If you doubt Saban's coaching ability still to this day, especially after this year where he has adapted and brought in elements of HUNH and is still winning, then you just won't ever be able to recognize a good coaching job.
Or you're in denial. Yea, that's probably it.

That isn't coaching, thats adapting. You don't consider a business an innovator if they bring in practices that have been successful elsewhere for years.
I think Saban is a very good to great coach, if you just look at on the field calls, strategy, etc. He is probably the best recruiter ever, definitely in the modern era. When you put those together, along with his motivational skills, you have the most complete package in football.
Saban can be out coached. But the talent he recruits and his ability to get his players to play hard for 60 minutes makes up for the few mistakes he does make.
