Losing at home to a team who didn’t score a touchdown is pretty brutal.


The worst loss of Saban’s entire career was his 31-0 loss against Alabama at night in Death Valley.

1) Louisiana Monroe 2007 - IDC if it’s the first season, this was in November. The team was competing that year. If JPW doesn’t fumble against LSU or throw that pick-six in Starkville, that teams playing on New Year’s Day.

2) 2010 Iron Bowl - All the props in the world to Cam Newton, he is the best CFB player of all-time in my book. Carried an otherwise 7-win team to a title. Blowing a lead with that team littered with Heisman talent and NFL HoFers was ridiculous.

3) 2021 Texas A&M - that was a dogshit football team.

4) 2018 National Title game - Losing to those Clemson teams under normal circumstances, no shame. Getting the doors blown off with the talent you had on that roster is unforgivable.

5) 2013 Iron Bowl - The comedy of errors in that game culminated in the pick-six; but not running Derek Henry in short yardage situations, particularly on the last 4th down play inside the 10 to ice the game, will always be, IMO, Saban’s worse in-game decision I’ve seen him and his staff make.

Carl Lawson would have body slammed Henry. plus you did try to run it and it was called back for holding, then AJ got crushed on third and long setting up another FG attempt that was blocked

Derek Henry has a highlight reel in the NFL running over people. Carl Lawson, JFC.

Anyone not Aaron Donald was tackling him 1:1 in college.

Anyways, the very last 4th down call I’m talking about is the last one Yeldon got stuffed in. It was 4th & 1. It led to AU and Marshall getting down the field and tying it with great haste. Alabama converts there, It’s off to Atlanta and then Pasadena to go for the elusive 3-peat.

That 44-16 beatdown Clemson gave Bama really stood out


Easily this was the worst because a natty was on the line and it was one of the only times it looked like a Saban Bama team was just completely unprepared and unmotivated.

Second would be that tOSU cfp loss.

Third would be the 2010 Iron Bowl.

But only that Clemson game was just a butt whipping...and that never happened.

The Kick Six game wasn't a bad loss. He made the right call going for the long FG to win it. The team was gassed and I don't think we would have won going into OT. Crazy finish and we were #1 at the time...disappointing loss, yes...bad loss? Not really.

You have to go back a lot of years to find an Auburn defensive player that people remember.
