You’re the Auburn fan in a Bama coach thread bitching about two men who beat your team repeatedly. You couldn’t answer the question without whining.

When you have a built in advantage, winning comes easy no?

And you’re the only fan who decided to come in this thread and complain about it. Both owned your school and it makes me smile that it still bothers you this much.

I think it’s pretty clearly Saban. Doing it in the modern SEC is more impressive.

Also after 2007 Saban never had a bad or even mediocre season (by national standards, I’m sure Bama fans consider 2010 disappointing). Bear had a few mediocre seasons in the middle of his tenure.

Hard to argue against Nick Saban. He was the undisputed best coach in football for over a decade and won many national championships in an era where CFB talent is at its highest level ever. He faced an absolute gauntlet in the SEC every year, and still succeeded more than any coach in history.

Saban did one thing Bryant didn’t; made L55U winners.

Somehow Bama has had the two undisputable greatest coaches of all. Whats even more crazy is how similar the two actually are. Who gets the nod in bama lore? The following is only their bama stats

Bear Bryant
Record: 232-46-9 (0.823)
6 Natties (including 2 undefeated seasons)
13 SEC Titles
No losing seasons
Most wins in Bama history

Nick Saban
Record: 201-29 (0.877)
6 Natties (including 2 undefeated seasons)
9 SEC Titles
No losing seasons
Highest Win percentage at bama in history

Its pretty interesting that both won 6 titles at bama and both had 2 undefeated seasons capped by titles. While Saban had a more dominate run, the Bear sustained greatness through 4 decades. If Bear doesn't come along then its possible bama is just like Ole Miss with a bunch of titles pre integration. As a vols fan, Saban tormented us more, but Bears longevity and transition from segregation to integration is inanse. Cant stand either one but hard to argue their success.


You're talking about an apples and oranges really.

The way championships were won are completely different, not to mention the other things. During Bear, everything was about the Sugar Bowl, because making the Sugar Bowl usually meant you were competing for a National Championship. However, that does not mean it was a National Championship game, which didn't exist.

So Bear had to win in a time where public opinion was an extremely big factor. Probably sometimes to the benefit, but usually not. Especially during the 60s. Bear had some really tough circumstances. For example, 1966 should have been a 3rd national championship in a row, but wasn't given the chance really. Went undefeated, but didn't matter. Plenty of teams lost bowl games after winning national championships, but wasn't an issue until Alabama does it once. That's not something Saban had to deal with, if his teams were good, they got the chance. And they got a lot of chances.

On the other hand Saban had to deal with a much tougher conference in order to get those chances, and had his own set of challenges. The way he dominated is crazy.

I don't think younger people really grasp how much the sport has changed between the 2 coaches.

And you pussies conveniently forget that the same types of rules applied to Bear as to every other head coach.... so he had no competitive advantage, except that he was just that much better than other coaches. like saban.

Another similarity

They both paid players when it was illegal. Saban did that better.

No way to judge eras of football. The culture is not the same in that Coach Bryant couldn't recruit the best athlete in the state until the 70s. Great teams were always at the mercy of bias and subjective voters.

Coach Saban just didn't lose. He was the most consistent winner in college football history.

And we had them both. BAMA is the winner in this one.

correct





it's always good to acknowledge that Saban's player budget was north of $30,000,000 per year, but way before nil and really, what is destroying college football today

Bryants numbers were a bit lower, but in real dollar value , still way ahead of any other teams

I would actually disagree. Bear was the most consistent winner in history. Saban was the most dominant winner in history. Bear had a winning record in the 1945 season and the 1982 season. Thats just absurd.

It could also be argued that Bear won everything without a heisman winner while Saban had 4. Thats a pro to the argument for both of them. Bear won with less talent while Saban was just the best accumulator of talent ever. Who knows though. Its a bar debate
