re: Coaches That Can Bring Saban Down

Statistically, Gus has to be on that list too.

Beating Saban once every 3-4 years (at best) isn't going to bring him down. You have to be there with a team competing at a playoff level with him, preventing him from winning championships year in and year out.

Dabo (obviously) is the one clear guy who can threaten to "bring him down" right this moment.

Lincoln Riley if he ever fields a defense and develops his own QBs is a potential threat. Too early to say on Day at Ohio St, though the pundits love him and that program is clearly a beast. Far too early to say on Herman and Texas. Jimbo mainly just being within the division is something to watch, but far off from happening right now.
