If you didn't live through and witness exactly what Spurrier did at Florida it's hard to understand exactly what the genius he is. Urban just rode the wave on in of what the OBC did there.

OBC did things Saban didnt/couldnt do. He changed the way the game was played for offense and defense. Like I said not a knock but if you wasn't following ball then you just don't have a clue.

You’re trying to devalue Meyer’s accomplishments, but he still has way more NCs than any other current coach not named Saban. So therefore he’s in the tier with Saban and no one else.

Offense, yes. Defense, no. He fielded incredible athletes on defense, but he wasn't overly interested in it. If you're talking opponent defenses, well, that's really just regular correlation. Take a Saban defense and see how opponents shift their offenses to actually be able to move the ball. You can give him credit for both, but it's really just one being an inevitable result of the other.
Spurrier's tier is sort of murky. He was the scariest coach in CFB for several years, but he only went all the way once (and got royally humiliated on another try.) In my opinion, he's sort of hovering between Tier 1 and Tier 2, not so much because of what did or didn't accomplish as because Saban and Urban have separated themselves with such clear demarcation that it's hard to put anyone else in their tier.
Luckily, SOS no longer coaches, so we don't have to make that tough decision.

The SEC that Saban came into at Alabama was light years ahead in strength than what Spurrier came into at Florida. Florida had three programs in all of the SEC that he had to actually contend with (Alabama [until Stallings retired], Tennessee, and Auburn). He got shellacked by DuBose of all people.
Saban has caused people to rewrite their offensive playbooks multiple times. Spurrier was eventually figured out and didn't manage another SEC title after 1996 except 2000, the weakest the SEC has been in the past 20 years.
The rules have been changed multiple times for Saban to try and level the playing field. Saban >>> OBC.
