Title: Tide's Saban one of best coaches ever Post by: Coach Hank Crisp on October 19, 2011, 10:01:02 AM http://www.timesfreepress.com/news/2011/oct/19/tides-saban-one-of-best-coaches-ever/?sportscollege
Quote (http://media.timesfreepress.com/img/photos/2011/10/18/1019D1_Saban_color_6cols_t618.JPG) The Mount Rushmore of Southeastern Conference football coaches may have its fourth face. After Tennessee's Robert Neyland, Alabama's Paul "Bear" Bryant and Florida's Steve Spurrier dominated their respective eras in the SEC, former LSU and current Alabama coach Nick Saban continues to stake his claim as an all-time great. Saban is the first coach in league history to guide two programs to national championships, and if his 7-0 Crimson Tide can finish 14-0 for a second time in three years, he would win a record 50 games in a four-year stretch. His latest victim, Ole Miss coach Houston Nutt, has no reservations placing Saban among the league's elite historically. "They've already got a statue down there, don't they?" Nutt said. "I think you can go ahead and do that. Whenever you hold up that crystal ball, I think you've done something very special, and he's done it at two schools."

I'll bet she's still, "If I'd have married $%#@&%# I wouldn't have to live this way" or "It wouldn't kill you to pick up a little around here" or "You just stay in your office all day watching movies and posting on that stupid forum." -----Well, maybe the last one's just mine.

Very good Catch, but if we look his work in academic side and the development of class. I would say he is already there. He has brought back more Pride to this University than we have had since Coach Stallings. We are not laughed at anymore on ESPN and other places, we not only win championships but the players graduate with honors. RTR! Title: Re: Tide's Saban one of best coaches ever Post by: SUPERCOACH on October 19, 2011, 12:24:49 PM Neyland had 4 and Bear had 6. Spurrier is a one hit wonder. Saban has 2 at different schools which is unique. When he gets 2 more at UA he will belong IMHO.

What good movies have you been watching in your office? Since 2008 Coach Saban's Crimson Tide team has lost 5 games going 43-5. Four of those losses have come from teams whose coaches have won National Chamiponships. If he wins out this year and pushes the record to 50-5 in four years, and brings home #14 NC, he just maybe one of the two best coaches 'The Tide Crimson' has ever had. HTH.

I agree Coach Bryant was one of the greatest, if not the greatest, coaches of all times. However, he was able to get the best players and give scholarship to other just so other teams could not sign them. This also shows Coach Bryants impact on the young men knowing they were coming to a team where competition would be extremely hard to get playing time. I think the same can be said for Saban's teams.
