I submit Al Bundy from Little giants best coach ever. He had a red vette, a player named spike who was like Romanowski(nuts). He every other best player, he got with all the cheerleaders moms(milfs). He was ruthless and cunning. Played and taught the game like it was meant. Surprised he's not on the short list as Saban's successor. It's just genetic.

Bud had a 28 game streak as well I believe… it ended when Paul Bryant and the Kentucky Wildcats kicked his arse in the Sugar Bowl

In the late 1930s Tennessee was great.
Auburn played them tough those years so The General quit playing Auburn.
In the 1950s while the general was hospitalized for a heart attack Auburn AD went to Knoxville and got the AU-UT series restarted in the mid 1950s.
For almost 40 years mid to late September was the game to see where you stood early.
Expansion killed it in 1992.
Then it killed the Florida- Auburn series.
I guess Georgia-Auburn will die next since we have 30 teams with the rumored SEC expansion to Europe and Asia.

Arkansas Razorback Jim Lee Howell – After playing at Arkansas, he played for the NY Giants twice, sandwiched around fighting in WWII as a Marine in the Pacific. Later became head coach of the NY Giants where he won the NFL championship in 1938. His offensive coordinator was a young guy named Vince Lombardi and his defensive coordinator was a young guy named Tom Landry. Howell is credited by many for creating the concept of "coordinators" and did it with Lombardi and Landry
Arkansas Razorback Jimmy Johnson – college national champion and 2-time Super Bowl champion
Arkansas Razorback Barry Switzer – 3-time college national champion and a Super Bowl champion
The only other coach in history with a college national championship and a Super Bowl Champion, was Pete Carroll, who did not play at Arkansas, but got his D1 start from Frank Broyles as a GA at Arkansas
Bear Bryant – from Fordyce, Arkansas

His 1939 Volunteers squad shut out all 10 regular season opponents scoreless, the last team to accomplish the feat
doubt this record will ever be matched or broken.
quote:
The only thing that diminished that is the fact that UT played USCw in the Rose Bowl and lost 14-0
Wonder what the outcome would have been if George Cafego would have been able to play.

It was simply political. The nation was NOT going to let an all-white Alabama team win a third NC in a row.
i agree with that, but saying that Notre Dame claiming a consensus wire service national championship is unearned makes no sense. Since 1936, Notre Dame has never claimed a non-AP/Coaches poll national title. ole miss got screwed the same way a few years earlier. Notre Dame did play a harder schedule than bama and maybe everyone else in the nation, though i personally think bama was the better team.
