The point I have been making, and you know to be true, the overwhelmingly vastness of bama's success has been under two coaches.


Of course that's true. But that doesn't change or minimize the fact that Bama was hugely successful before and in between the two coaches. Bryant was here for over 20 years. Saban has been here over a decade himself.

Still, more than a third of our claimed championships were won by someone else. Bama has staying power as a program. Wallace Wade is responsible for that. 1925 changed the landscape of college football forever. And without Frank Thomas, there is no Bear Bryant.

Lol will it even matter when we are six feet under? Lol I don't think so....and I'm a bama fan. I say that and I'm a fan but even I get sick of hearing about our "greatness". I mean it's really sad in the grand scheme of things, considering what is happening in Texas with Hurricane Harvey. Lol there are more depressing matters my friend. How about I break it down this way.....if you were hanging off a cliff and you reached up for a helping hand....would you ask them what team they rooted for? Lol probably not.

I have an idea. Let's remove each school's 2 greatest coaches and then rank ther schools accomplishments sans those 2 coaches.

Goodbye Shug and Dye. Goodbye Neyland and Fulmer. Goodbye Spurrier and Meyer. Goodbye Dooley and Richt. Goodbye Leahy and Rockne. Goodbye Miles and Saban. Goodbye Switzer and Wilkinson. Goodbye McKay and Carroll. Goodbye Paterno and Engle.


Alabama has 8 SEC championships from coaches not named Saban or Bryant. LSU has 7 not named Saban or Miles. Tennessee has 6 not named Neyland or Fulmer. Georgia has 4 not named Dooley or Richt. Auburn has 3 not named Shug or Dye. Florida has 0 not named Spurrier or Meyer.


Hint, Alabama would still be at the very tip top.
