He won two NCs...more than any other OC.

I'm not saying he cost us a natty with how he coached, I'm saying his success (which was incredible in terms of NCs)led to the Nussball days. I often wonder what happens if instead of Kiffin 2014 to change to spread, Saban makes the changes after Jim left.

Obviously we won in 12, but 13 and 14 were (for me) all about mismatched pieces offensively and defensively as Saban scrambled to match the spread evo on defense along with still wanting to be a ball control offense and the cracks from that leading to offensive duds in key games. Also, Imagine Sims as a spread qb, being able to actually spend 2 years there learning going into 14.

I know that I'm purely speculating, it's just been something that's been in the back of my mind since Saban made the decision to bring in Kiffin in 14.
