Without a doubt, 2023 is Coach Saban’s best coaching job

No thanks

Would you feel differently if Auburn had caught that punt or knocked that pass down?

"Coaching" is often given too much credit in good times and blamed too much in bad situations, by the average fan.

Bama has the most talented roster ever by recruiting rankings, the Tide needed a miracle against Auburn, struggled in other games, and was lucky to make the playoffs over undefeated Florida State.

No, brain fart by Auburn

Nick can thank Sark for that…..Horns showed him their weaknesses…he made significant changes, coached up his players…that’s the sign of a great coach…

Yeah that cupboard sure was bare this year.

I keep reading this but I disagree. It’s a roster full of #1 classes just like any other Saban team the last 12 years or so. Failure to develop that talent as well as in the past doesn’t suddenly make this a better coaching job. We still don’t have a NFL caliber receiver, the OL learned to block for the first time against UGA, and Milroe was grossly mismanaged the first half of the season.

I think Saban was actually under-appreciated back when he had so much well developed talent that we were mauling teams, as if anyone could win with those players. And now he is being given too much credit with a team people are treating as if they are a scrappy group of 3 stars that got coached up.

Yep, the OP is way off base. You have a much better grasp of the situation. He will never acknowledge that, though.
