It is more a statement on the turnover in the SEC. How many active coaches have beaten UM?
Saban, Dabo, Dantonio, Franklin, Fisher, Mullen, Richt, and Long.
That's 8.

1st and Goal: McCarron rush for no gain
2nd and Goal: Lacy rush for 1 yard
3rd and Goal: McCarron scrambled up the middle and was tackled at the 2
4th and Goal: Interception in the endzone
3 out of 4 plays were called pass plays. You made his point for him.

Not true. If you're counting all those no longer active like Miles.

No it's not. Turnover may be high lately but Saban would have dominated the guy that was fired instead of his replacement and you know this.

Ok. A) I hate you now, and B) thanks for proving my point. It should have been run Lacy left off tackle as many times as necessary to put it in the end zone.
And all from the shotgun.

Saban LOST to the following coaches Chizik, Miles, Croom, Spurrier, Nutt, Cutcliffe, Tuberville and Charlie Weatherbie besides those list in the OP.

Didn't realize Richt ever beat him

You are talking about what happened in 07 and at LSU slick. Do your list from 08 Bama till now which is very relevant to your point of whether he would have continued to beat the coaches that were replaced. Do you think had Croom stayed he would have beaten Saban again?

Ok after reading the post again I see your point now but turnover happens in major college football. Sorry I missed your point.

The last time Georgia beat Alabama was in 2007, so you're wrong unless you mean to include 2007.
Edit: Or unless you mean in general, because Richt also beat Saban once when he was at LSU still.

Actually if you look at history, A&M should give an assist to MState and LSU for their victory over Bama.
Why you ask?
A&M was third game of a three game gauntlet for Bama. First up was MState, State was 7-0 coming into that game, a lot of hype surrounded the game, Bama was up emotionally and we all know what happened, Bama won 38-7. However, they used a lot of emotion in that game.
Following week at LSU, tough emotional game won in the final moment against a one loss Tiger team. Bama won 21-17.
They were spent emotionally. Talented, yes but they were due for a letdown. Most Bama fans were worried about A&M for that very reason. So fast forward to the A&M game. Bama stumbles out of the block , A&M takes advantage. To Bama's credit, they battled back but overcoming a twenty point deficit is tough.
Had Bama played A&M at a different time during 2012, I have no doubt they would have beat them. Schedule timing certainly has an effect on the outcome of a game and in this case it was advantageous to A&M. To their credit, they took full advantage of it.
