Tennessee is hoping to "Saban "the SEC with Gruden

Let it go. He can't hurt you anymore.

I do NOT buy in to the "Nick Saban the best coach in CFB History" lunacy. Here are three reasons why UAT is so successful at football: 1) UAT has an unlimited football budget and spends more money than any other SEC member on gold-plated over the top gaudy football facilities, coaches salaries and recruiting 2) No university admissions office "interference" (also Bama is one of only three SEC schools, along with Ole Miss and MS State that accepts Ds on high school and/or college transcripts and 3) Most importantly Saban has no interference from the UAT administration and the reality is that Bama football is only peripherally affliated with UAT. In essence you can take the McDonald's drive through guy and he could win 10 games at UAT (ie Mike Dubose won a SEC championship at UAT). How many games and/or championships would Saban win at GA Tech, Wake Forest, Vanderbilt et al? He is a "great" coach because he coaches at UAT, the last college football factory left in America!

I find this hard to believe that these are the only 3 schools that do that actually.
