Saban created a massive power creep in the SEC

Why hasn’t it affected Tennessee?
Most everyone Alabama plays every year has directly benefitted from Nick Saban being in the SEC.
Auburn. LSU. Even Arkansas for a short while. Why has Tennessee been complete anus for 15 years straight?

Have we not let you in on the multi-step REC strategy?
Pruitt was Stage 3.

Not sure why you think we’ve benefitted. We went undefeated and had a good run of teams pre-Saban and then have gone through three coaches since then.

Feature.
Not a bug.

Is that why Kiffin is the lead candidate for the LSU job?

Fulmer’s gravitational pull is really THAT hard to overcome.

I wouldn't say that Arkansas has benefited one bit.

His recruiting nationally helps other SEC schools get players we would've signed had we not signed other players from out of the region.

Without Saban the SEC does not have appeal to draw Bilema from Wisconsin...but you are right that it did not benefit you. Never should have let Nutt go.

I have a suspicion Fulmer ate the most promising candidates.

It wasn't just Saban, it was the SEC as a whole that developed that reputation. Remember, this happened in 2013. At that time, you had Florida (2), Alabama (3), and LSU (2) all with 2+ national titles in the previous 10 years. Auburn had also just won one a couple of years prior. Arkansas had also recently won a division title and was a top 5 team 2 years prior.

Wtf did I just read?
In 1999 if Saban doesn't step foot on that corporate jet in Lansing, Michigan for a flight down to BR, you wouldn't be able to find 10 people on the street today that would of even heard of Nick Saban.
Alabama should be kissing LSU and the Dolphins a$$ daily.

You have 1 title and played for a second in the last 11 years. You had 1 in 65 years between WW2 and 2010.
Saban pushed the entire conference to strive for a higher standard. Auburn succeeded in doing so better than anyone outside of LSU.
It isn’t an insult. It is a great compliment.

Maybe, but he kept the superior level and even raised it. Would you disagree with that?

I think Saban benefitted by playing in an SEC devoid of talented QBs. Every School you mentioned gave Saban issues when they had a decent QB. Tennessee has been behind at that position for the last 15 years.

Which is why whenever they faced an OOC with a good QB they got throttled.
Oh, wait.
Even Cam was lucky to pull out a W.
