Are you limiting it to football and basketball? Because there are some coaches that have dominated their sports way more than any of these.

I feel compelled to add the Texas A&M meat judging coach… I’m just not sure who his or her name is!

Saban >>>>>>> Bryant

Bryant had tons of advantages that Saban never enjoyed, but never had that 16 year run of excellence from 2008-2023

I don't think so. Bryant accomplished greatness before integration. Just imagine what he could have done if black players had ever played on any of his teams.

Bryant had to work a lot harder than Saban to achieve his success.

Completely untrue. Anyone who knows anything about basketball knows who Pat Summit is. Shes a gold winning Head coach for team USA. And won the presidential medal of freedom. Youre dumb

LSU fan since birth but Coach Bryant is my favorite coach of all time. I shook his hand as an 8 year old while my family was on vacation in Florida.

Kinda weird I know.

No its not lol. Womens college basketball is factually more watched than college baseball. Its not even close. Pat Summit was the face of womens sports for 30+ years. Skip Bertman was the face of college baseball for a decade. Their impacts to college athletics arent remotely close
