Everyone should realize we are witnessing a revolution in football

Everyone will adjust just like they always do. Remember way back when Urban Meyer changed everything about the game with his spread?

People said the same thing about:

Jimmy Johnson
Bobby Bowden
Steve Spurier
Bob Stoops
Pete Carroll.

Great coaches existed before him and they will after him. He is good, but he is far from the first to have a run like this.

Don't forget that Nebraska guy. Sorry if it has already been noted.

Are you kidding? What Jimmy did at the "U" had never been seen before.

Bowden showed a consistency never before seen in the modern era.

National media said the same thing about Stoops and Pete. How quickly we forget.

I didn't say Saban is the best coach of all time. I said he is the coach who is doing more to change the game right now, than anyone has done in a long time. Those spread phylosophies work for some and has certainly had a big effect on the game. But Saban's system is complete, roster wide, and is damn hard to beat when its had time to mature.

Tom Osborne did a pretty damn good job for Nebraska. Fyi Saban is still a douche. His statement going in to the half re enforces that. Such an angry man. Lol

Whether he's a douche or not is a different discussion. He's a great coach, tho.

So a running game and dominant d is revolutionary? As I said Tom Osborne at Nebraska. Saban is a great coach no doubt, but it's not like he invented the wheel.

Osborne's revolutionary tactics included better chemicals

It's more than that. It's the way you build a team and various focuses throughout the system/process. If it was as simple as running and D, everyone would do it.

How many programs around the country tried to emulate Osborne's offensive philosophy? Again, not saying Saban is the best ever, but the best right NOW, and his system is more than running game and defense.

Looking back at modern college football history, as mentioned above, Jimmy Johnson was doing the same thing at the same level as Saban. He could've won more NC's...until he would finally get caught in some sort of scandal...but he high tailed it to Big D.

Mark my word, and I'm sure many will agree, Saban will exit stage left at some point, knowing the program is in a state of scandal that it cannot escape (ala Pete Carroll).

If you don't think there's recruiting, drug, sex or whatever scandals going on in Bama RIGHT NOW, you're crazy. It's just a matter of time before something tears down the empire in Tuscaloosa. Right now it's the "Hollywood" of college football...everybody is having fun...too much fun. It's too easy for them to stay on guard. And I bet we are closer to it, than further away.

I think there are a lot of coaches that could win like he is...but you MUST hve the players in place first. Recruiting is everything and the day wi come where his recruiting will crumble in scandal. Or he'll bail out on them in a cloud of dust. He doesn't REALLY care about Tuscaloosa...he cares about Nick Saban.

You mean recruiting better than anyone else and winning games? He is a great coach, sure, but I don't see any new formations, schemes, or phases of the game. He isn't inventing anything that is revolutionizing anything. He works hard, recruits flawlessly and has the budget, facilities and tradition behind him to make it sustainable.

The coaching game has had many greats before him, and there will be many after him. You are right Bama is lucky to have him, but I promise you this level of success is not sustainable forever. It is easy to look that much better than everyone else when you have the depth and the talent level to outperform them on the field.

From a revolution to best right now, gotcha. Probably should have looked up the word revolution first.

It's not a revolution it's football 101. If you can run the ball and you can play great defense your going to win a lot of games. It all starts with recruiting.

Did I hear the sideline announcer ask Saban about his running back by committee? If I heard that right that was one dumb question.

Not sure if serious. Are you implying that a revolution has to be past-tense? Honestly have no idea wtf you talkin about.

It's actually a pretty simple equation on top of really great coaching and relentless recruiting.

1)Win because of better coaching.
2)Evaluate, recruit, and sign the best players in the nation because you're winning.
3)Win a lot because of great coaching and better talent/depth.

You started off saying revolution, then said best right now. Nothing in sports is going to be revolutionary, if anything it's all cyclical. So its not like he is doing something mind shattering, that just changed the game of football. Understand?
