re: Saban is about to be playing in his 9th national Championship since 2009….

I’m fine with the evil empire winning one more this season if he just retires already afterwards.

He is one of the best but haven’t there been some old school basketball coaches that have won 6 titles or close to it. To me it’s MUCH harder in college basketball to win a title. Yes it’s easier to make playoffs but you have so many playoff games to win.

John Wooden won 10 NCAA tourneys in 12 years, including 7 in a row

Incredible!!

Only Wooden or Belichick seems to compare

And to be perfectly honest, Wooden coached in an era when, relatively speaking, few schools gave a shite about college basketball. Only 8 schools in the Pac, for example. Only 24 teams in the NCAA tournament...the sport was somewhat popular, but certainly nowhere near the degree of popularity it achieved later.

Thank lsu for hiring him because without us you would never had hired him.

So you can say with 100% absolute certainty that some other school wouldn't have hired him the following year had LSU not? There's no way he then could have won a national championship with that school and then gone to the Dolphins?

What if Florida had hired him instead of Zook going into 2002, he goes on to win a national championship at Florida, then goes to the Dolphins?

That couldn't have happened?

think it’s harder to do what Belichick has done

He is a good coach.


But most of that was Tom Brady.

Even more amazing is look at his assistants that leave every year ! He’s doing this with numerous coaches the only constant is him

Factor in his LSU stint this is Saban’s 10th national championship game. He currently has a record of 7-2. Hopefully will improve to 8-2 on Jan 10

coaching. He hasn't played in any of them that I can recall.
