I said it before, Saban would not have as many NCs under the System that Bear Bryant played under. Bobby Bowden would have more than Saban if he played under the Playoff System.

Gonna pick a name from slightly before my youth, and one who got his gig around the time I graduated college.
Bob Devaney
Bill Snyder
Obviously Bear Bryant belongs up there, maybe even the best.
But Devaney took a team that had been down for a decade or more (and was just decent to pretty good at best in the past), and turned them into a blueblood.
Bill Snyder took Kansas State, a team who had never accomplished much, and was in as deep a hole as can be imagined when he took the job. And has has them winning conference titles or at least being relevant the whole time he's been there. All in a recruiting position that makes Mississippi State look like it is in the catbird seat.

What's your argument here? Most people say that the main component in Saban's success is his ability to recruit more talented players than everyone else. With no scholarship limitations wouldn't his talent differential be even more insane?

The system where Bama claims everything remotely close to a NC?
Pretty sure Saban would have all the championships
