And we know that much of his success at Alabama was due to illegal Pay for Play.

Lets see Urban arrived in the SEC as Saban was leaving LSU. No one knew what Miles would be able to do. UT was headed downward, Alabama was not very good, and UGA was good for 10 wins max. Spurrier did arrive as well but no one expected USC to be anything. But once Saban returned, Spurrier showed USC could be an issue, and Miles proved LSU was around to stay Urban faked health issues and declared retirement.

Next chapter UM and the rest of the B10 was not very good. So, he landed at OSU and all his health problems miraculously vanished. James Franklin showed up at PSU and Harbaugh at UM. Once they rebuilt their programs Urban disappeared once again knowing he could not compete.

The sign of a great coach is winning everywhere you go.
And turning bad programs around on a dime.
Urban won big/immediately everywhere he went.
And every place with the exception of Ohio State was a mess when he got there.

Saban was a failure at Michigan State and underachieved at LSU.
His only success came at Alabama, and it's frigging Alabama.
If Saban is The GOAT then why couldn't he win in the Big Ten.
If Saban is The GOAT then why did he underachieve at LSU ?
His only success came at one of the Biggest Blue Blood Programs in the country.

I like Urban as a Coach he was great, but Saban is The Goat! He won a Natty at LSU and most likely would have won more if he stayed at LSU. At Bama he is in the same conversion and even better than the Bear! By winning several Natties at Bama. Plus he took a bad Michigan State team and beat my Buckeyes in 1998 that cost them from winning a Natty that year.
Both coached in the MAC, Big Ten and SEC and both were great coaches. But Saban has a better coaching tree and rather you like Saban or not. He is just The Goat ! You can't say that about Urban!

Golf cart pizza:

Meyer 1
Saban 0

The most vital evidence of OP's claim.

Here's the scoop on these so-called Ohio State fans...

I worked with a guy that was from Ohio. Back during the Tressle years, I was ragging him about Ohio State. Later, he pulled me aside and said, "honestly, dude, I don't know that much about the Buckeyes. The NFL is bigger up there than college football. I'm a Browns fan."

Fast forward a couple of years and all of a sudden he's the biggest Buck-nut fan on the planet, even denying he ever made that statement.

So, after the luster wears off and OSU comes back to earth they'll be back to cheering for the Brownies or whoever else in the NFL they decide to bandwagon on.

The OP on this thread will probably even change his name back to Browns4Life or whatever it was before.
