You don't know much about football. Bowden is a better person and was a better coach in the 80's 90's than Saban. He just got old. Loyalty is the reason he got the statue, that word means nothing to Saban.

Yeah, Bowden is a better person all right. They didn't get the name Criminoles in the 1990s for being a dirty program at all.

Expand that green section to about 75% of that clock face and you've got it right.

I liked the first clock better, but it should be more towards 12 o'clock.

He played Miami (Jimmy Johnson) and Florida (Steve Spurrier) when they had great teams every year.

Saban doesn't deserve a statue here at LSU because he won with Dinardo's players.

80's Miami he was 3-7

90's Florida he was 6-4-1

Overall, with both in their primes, he was 9-11-1. That's not exactly an argument for him being a better coach.

What a coincidence that Bobby Bowden went 11-1 or 10-2 in every year of the 1990s - save 1999. His only losses were usually the only teams that were worth a damn on his schedule.

Uhh, Bowden routinely got beat by the only teams during that span that were any good (Miami and UF). Bowden coached against absolute trash...the ACC back then was TERRIBLE.

Here's the ACC at the time FSU joined (1991):

FSU
Clemson
Duke
Maryland
UNC
NCstate
UVA
WF
GT

All of those teams were awful
