re: Has Saban's presence at Alabama been good for the SEC?

Rough on opponents lips and knees. All that kneeling and ring kissing.
Seriously, sustained excellence is what makes Coach Saban stand out. In fact all of the SEC teams have had to endure multiple coaching changes except for Georgia, and they have been the 2nd most competitive SEC team. they made one good change and they are in position to challenge Alabama. The whole conference is recruiting better with better coaching hires and I personally believe it is on the verge of becoming much stronger top to bottom.all the teams are getting better in pursuit of the “Gold Standard”. Bama is fortunate to be there now. UF was there with Spurrier & Meyer. LSU with Saban, Miles & “O”. The difference is longevity.
