Lol bear quit and died just because one of his old assistants was about to start beating that arse. Saban left the circus and is killing it right now

I don’t really care about how their coaching careers ended. I’ve seen 5x more National Championships in my lifetime than you and your great great great grandchildren will ever experience. You and your university’s programs are bottom feeders - own it and move on.

GOAT at stacking the deck, paying players under the table, violating the rules without punishment and getting outcoached when facing equal talent

It’s okay buddy, you’ll get over it one day and move on. Don’t stay bitter forever - it isn’t healthy.

I'm a huge Joe Burrow fan but could he or Daniels come back from 0-21 to Alabama?

---

Yeah, possibly. Daniels was a threat to take to the house on every single play. Dude was electric.

Gah that’s embarrassing, but then again LSU fans are a bit odd so I’m not surprised lol

Hahaha what in the world did I just watch?

Absolutely loved listening to his show. The recordings would play through a few local stations here in coastal AL, always entertaining. He is a legend for sure and will be missed!

Certainly no question at all that a current NFL team could beat a current college team (or really any college team in the history of the sport).

But this topic is about teams from two completely different eras…

When looking at matchups, just take the 1970 Cleveland Browns for example. They went 7-7, so I feel that’s fair - not the best and not the worse that year.

Review their starting roster, players skill sets, and most importantly height/weight. If you think they’d beat a 2011 bama/lsu when comparing the rosters, then idk what to tell you.

I don’t care if the 70s players were “meaner”, there were some pretty bad dudes on the bama/lsu Dline in 2011. The 1970s Browns wouldn’t be able to block them all game given the glaring size and speed differences. And that’s only one aspect, not even mentioning the differences between speed and twitch of the WR and defensive back groups from that era and the 2011 teams I referenced.

I’m just trying to prove the point that a specific modern day college team could hypothetically beat a single NFL team from the 70s. Would the college team win the Super Bowl, highly doubtful, but I guarantee you the college teams I discussed could beat a middle of the road to poor nfl team from 1970 for the reasons above.

Oh and Jamarcus Russell is a bad comparison considering he wasn’t on the lsu roster in 2011. But that’s besides the point.

Just for reference, and this is not a dig to my LSU friends, go back and watch the regular season and national championship games between Alabama and LSU in 2011.

I promise you guys, you’ll be shocked at the level of physicality during the entirety of those two games and now. The NFL talent on the field those two games is unbelievable.

There’s no way of convincing me that a 60s-70s team could have beaten either of those two teams. Physically the older teams would have held up for a bit, but no freaking way they are withstanding players like Upshaw, Rueben Randle, Reid, Blue, Richardson, CJ Mosley, Mingo, Beckham Jr, Landry, Barron, Mathieu, Spencer Ware, Eddie Lacy, Dre Kirkpatrick, Hightower, etc etc. And I’m only naming the “skill”/“star” players.

Hell, that fullback for LSU, Copeland (I think his name was), would demolish those undersized lbs

All of those guys I mentioned were immediate starters in the NFL and had long successful careers.

OLs and DLs were incredible too. And I’m not even mentioning the advancement of the skill set for place kickers, punters, and ST units.

Either one of those two teams would have dominated a 60s-70s NFL team, and by any set of rules.

If you disagree, go watch the 2011/2012 championship game. Takes a quick YouTube search.

The killer instincts and physicality of both teams is astonishing and the lack of “targeting” or “unnecessary roughness” penalties, will make you feel like you’re watching a game from before the 80s.

Now, a 2025 college team may get smoked by an old NFL team. But I consider modern year 2000-ish +

Dangerous, I guess
