He could outcoach Saban and still lose by 20+

Maybe. If you're hoping to catch fish this hook is pretty shiny.

I believe he's a better on field coach than Saban.

I believe Saban is a better recruiter and program builder.

The better coach won't win tomorrow. The better players will.

An Army of Lions led by a sheep will always defeat an army of sheep led by a lion.

Alabama is an Army of Lions led by a Lion. Washington is in trouble

There very well could be several coaches that are better gameday coaches than Saban, but none are even close to the collective of him. He's elite at recruiting and elite at managing the details and culture of the program. Could he get outcoached occasionally? Sure. But it's usually a fluke occurrence, and 8-9/10, he'd win the game.

Petersen is as good a coach as there is in the nation.

He could out coach Saban and still get killed because he can't Come close to Saban in recruiting .

Petersen is a great owner of a small business.

Saban is a CEO of a Fortune 500 company.

Saban may not be able to replicate Petersen's success at smaller schools, but is is unlikely Petersen would be able to replicate Saban's success at a big school. I think Petersen is great when coaching kids who have chips on their shoulder. Highly doubt he could deal with 5 star primadonna.

No need to compare the two like that. They are both great coaches, one of them has a bunch of hardware.
The only way the Huskies can keep it close is Peterson, dude knows how to coach in big games.

That said I don't see Bama not winning this game.

I personally think Bama will win, but I do not think it's going to be a repeat of last year's MSU game like many are predicting. Petersen's brought supposedly undermatched teams to play against the big boys when he was at Boise before. He's shown he can coach a team that's supposed to be overmatched to win a game before. And Washington has some decent talent, especially in the secondary. I can see Hurts making some mistakes against them that can swing the game.

If that's the one wildcard Petersen has, is he's been in this situation many times before. And Petersen may even be a better in-game coach than Saban. But where Saban wins is recruiting, attention to detail, and program building. He's a better coach Sunday-Friday and in the offseason, and that's what makes him the GOAT.

I'm really looking forward to see what becomes of this, because I think many are thinking Bama is going to roll by 40 and I don't see a Petersen coached team allowing that to happen.

I think Peterson may be the best X's and O's coach in the country and is extremely good at identifying and developing the talent he has. Unfortunately, Saban is just as good with X's and O's and develops 5 star talent to their potential better than any coach in the history of college football.

Other teams may have more or better players in the NFL but Alabama does an amazing job of developing their guys to the absolute best of their ability when playing football at the university of Alabama.

Actually, I think he may be a fine replacement one day. Dude can flat-out coach some football.
