Saban has definitely earned the title as best recruiter in the country.I agree, I’ve no love for Bama or Saban, but the man has earned it. He is the GOAT in my opinion, and will continue to be until someone surpasses him. It will take some time for that to happen if it ever does. Don’t get me wrong, I wouldn’t trade Kirby Smart for anyone, but Saban has absolutely earned the title of the GOAT.
I appreciate the links. I don't have the time or inclination to digest the nuances of defense.
In your learned opinion, do you find cover 7 by Smart and Saban, or the modifications they've made, to be groundbreaking?
GTFO! Heupel owned Kelly's azz last year and BK has not done one damn thing since then to convince me differently. LSU is so overhyped right now, and they are gonna get shredded, starting with FSU game. LSU's current OL, RBs, CBs? Gimme a break.
So the best college coach of all time is behind Smart? Laughable. He's the best coach in the league until he retires. He earned it, which makes me sick to my stomach.CJH is getting some love from the media, and deservedly so. Go Vols!

It'd be hard to convince me that Saban came into a great (or even a good) situation.
Rumors are that boosters/power brokers rushed Stallings out the door after having the unacceptable back to back 3 loss seasons
Enter Franchione.....
one middling 7-5 season
followed by a 10-3 season in which they were not eligible for post season play
Fran bolts for another job
Enter Mike Price in 2003.....never coaches a game
enter Mike Shula in 2003----
3-8 in season 1
6-6 year 2
10-2 has one really good season
6-7 and is shown the door in 2007
my memory is fuzzy but along the way it seems like there were multiple NCAA investigations, Fulmer telling recruits Bama was getting the death penalty, post season bans and a bunch of vacated wins.
Feels kind of eerily similar to me
