Alabama was better in the 90s yes but from Bear to Saban, Auburn was the overall better program for sure.


If you carve out the 1990s, then you're talking about 13 years that just happen to include the tenures of two of the only three Bama coaches (Ears Whitworth being the third) to have losing records against Auburn since the series resumed after WWII.

83-86 Perkins 2-2
87-89 Curry 0-3
90-97 Stallings 5-3
98-02 DuBose 2-1
01-02 Fran 1-1
03-06 Shula 0-4

It's far more accurate to say that Auburn dominate Curry and Shula - which they did. Other coaches during that window were 50/50 or better.

Ok well if we are allowed to eliminate two coaches from a program to help our arguments I'll take out Bear and Saban, since you know you would have a losing record against Auburn without those two coaches...
