Title: Nick Saban joins elite company Post by: pmull on July 14, 2012, 07:14:50 AM Quote Saban, who turned 60 in October, already owns the distinction of being the only coach in the Associated Press poll era (dating to 1936) to win national championships at two schools. This past January, Saban added his second national title in the past three years at Alabama to go with the one he won at LSU in 2003. That's a total of three rings, putting Saban in the same exclusive company as Tom Osborne, Barry Switzer, Bud Wilkinson and Knute Rockne. Of course, the gold standard is Bear Bryant's six national championships. Granted, Bryant carved out his legendary career in a different era when polls and wire services determined the national champion each year. http://espn.go.com/college-football/story/_/id/8162678/college-football-alabama-crimson-tide-coach-nick-saban-greatest-all-time (http://a.espncdn.com/photo/2012/0110/ncf_saban04jr_200.jpg) Title: Re: Nick Saban joins elite company Post by: 2Stater on July 15, 2012, 12:47:24 PM Quote Saban, who turned 60 in October, already owns the distinction of being the only coach in the Associated Press poll era (dating to 1936) to win national championships at two schools.

Priase the Lord for Mal Moore being smart enough to get him for us. RTR!
