re: If you clone Saban and give him to each member of the big 6, who is the best?

It would be nice if we already had a smaller sample to base a prediction on. Oh, I don't know, maybe 5 years at each school?

It would also be nice if, I don't know, you read the OP and understood what the thread was asking

insecure Texans, A&M would be #2 on list if included

A&M is probably #4. The state is still wedded to the Big 12. Families are also more affluent and transient than those in other SEC West states.

OK - I accept your scenario.
What's the arrangement at each school? Does he get the same contractual agreement? Does he get full control of facilities, personnel, schedules, media appearances, boosters, etc., that Saban has at Bama? Because you can't measure the significance of the blank check he was given when he came to Bama in the beginning.
And a lot of that influenced his decision to leave L5U in the first place for Miami, and heavily influenced his decision to leave Miami for Bama.

Saban or Saban clone or for that matter any head coach that worth his weight in dogshit would not make 10 yrs there.

Just wondering - how exactly would the top 4 be better than what Alabama has done? Undefeated every season? SEC Title every season? 8 National Titles? All 32 first round picks? Is there something better than #1 in recruiting?

I hate bama lol

Duhhhh...given the fact that in all the situations mentioned, the coach isn't a variable, so it all comes down to all the other factors mentioned, and all five of Saban's 5 year periods at Alabama have been more successful than his only five year period at LSU. So yeah, there's some evidence to base a prediction on, even if a cloned Saban wasn't coaching at every other school. I'm sorry if that was confusing for you.

Sabans 1st and only 5 years at LSU

2 sec titles and 1 national title

Sabans 1st 5 years at Bama

1 Sec title and 2 national titles

That doesn't even take into context the improvement in him as a coach over the time span

So no, you are incorrect with the "facts" you thought you brought here

When Saban was hired at Bama some people were saying he would not have the same success he had while at LSU. I said are you kidding me, this is BAMA we are talking about. He will have much greater success and he has. Bama is the best football program in the SEC hands down and it would be number 1 in this scenario as well. Keep in mind before Bear got to Bama they were still the most successful program in the SEC, and what he did was ensure that as a program they would always be at the top. Sure they have had some dry spells, but no different than other schools. I truly believe that one of the main reasons for that is, Football is just a little more important at Bama than any other school.

Bama Saban would beat the shite out of the other Big Five cloned Sabans. The system is in place, the process is rolling, and Bama Saban would have an uncatchable head start on the clones. Bama Saban would go 15-0, the clones would go anywhere from 12-1 to 9-4. These records include the bowl games against teams not named Utah and Oklahoma.

Saban can't win without a big talent gap

No one knows this you unemployed handicap, because he has always had more talent. Recruiting is an important, no the most important part of being a college coach.


What did you major in at Auburn? Sounds like cuckoldry if you ask me.
