Returning to the OP, while I don't dispute Saban's assessment that he should have won more NCs, given the talent at his disposal, the first part of his quote troubles me:
The only guy who was on his '03 staff that won the title is Lance Thompson, who helped him win the NC in 2012, but was elsewhere when Bama won in '09 and '11.
Since he's talking about two different schools, with entirely different teams and coaches, spread out over an 11-year period, why can't he just say "I won four national championships"? False modesty?

"People talk about we've won four national championships," Saban said, including the 2003 title he won at LSU.
