Lots of reasons unrelated to Saban:
- Easier path to NC now that there are playoffs (win a couple big games and go undefeated)
- Less pressure in other conferences because football is less important than in the Southeast
- Easier to play the underdog
- SEC coaches are coaching for their jobs on a weekly basis. Not because of Saban but because we eat, sleep, and breathe CFB here
Other conferences there are only a handful of high-pressure jobs. Ohio State, Florida State, Texas, Michigan, USC. Even those places give their coaches a longer leash than the average SEC school. Well except for Texas, they think they should win every game, too.
