Saban has 4 national titles, Meyer now has three. Both have won titles at two different schools.

I'm starting to lean towards Meyer given the fact that he was a true offensive innovator. Half the teams in college football today use a variant of the offenses he introduced to the FBS at Bowling Green and Utah.

The fact that he is a cold-hearted classless son of a bitch is also a plus for him. Dude gives less than zero fricks.

Meyer. It is much harder to recruit big players in the Big 10 than the SEC.

As of right now Saban. In a couple more years prob Meyer. I think Saban is done winning titles.

I'd take Saban over Meyer if given the choice. Saban's title at LSU is more impressive than Meyer's titles at Florida and Ohio State. Meyer didn't have to build either of those programs from the ground up like Saban did LSU.

Meyer, and the shoulder-to-shoulder gap will widen over the next 15 years.

OSU can dominate the Big-10 to much greater degrees than Bama the SEC.

I think it's easy to jump on a trend. Meyer will be the trend for a while now.

I put my vote on Saban tho.

It's close right now with Saban probably edging him out... Meyer has a lot left in him though, he could win several more before retiring... He'll be threatening for the best collegiate coach ever at this pace...

Meyer ran his 2010 into the ground despite having one of the most talented rosters in history. Also, lol @ the tards who act like recruiting isn't part of coaching.

See. I mean, I respect opinions. I just don't understand where this comes from?

What facts do you place this opinion on?
