So does that mean Tyrion Lannister is #3? I would rate him above mini-me at least

Hornswoggle also has to be somewhere on that list

Saban has had quite a bit of good luck at Bama, but I'd just like to know how he stays out of the NCAA's doghouse? There are other coaches who would have done similar if maybe not the same, most recently Jim Tressel and Pete Carrol had it rolling before the NCAA broke it up. This is Saban's mastery.

He is without question the GOAT coach of college football. I don’t think I’ll ever see another college coach duplicate or exceed his success in my lifetime.

What’s crazy is he’s going to add a lot more numbers to that resume. He’s got 5-6 years left easily. He’s an animal. I could see 2-3 more titles and 1-2 Heismans. 20+ more first rounders etc

Reeee-diculous.
You didn’t mention overall number of guys sent to the NFL (not just first-rounders).
Doubtful anyone will ever see his equal.
Stupid sick.

13 straight years with a first round draft pick and will tie the record set by Miami next year should Bama have a first round draft pick
