Nick Saban vs Phil Fulmer

[iambruce]

When are you going to start the "BJ Coleman vs Tim Tebow" thread?

opcorn:

How about BJ coleman vs tom brady

He was there for 5 years. i would hope he beat those teams at least once.

He beat Penn State two times. (Blowout in 97)
He beat Ohio State two times. (Upset #1 team in 1998)
He beat Michigan two times.
He beat Notre Dame three times.

Your statistical data isn't helping your cause.

Clearly taking over a Mike Shula-ruined Bama team with a losing record is exactly the same as strolling into a place that won 2 SEC titles in the past few years.

Losses to ULM and Miss St, yet still gave coaching all-star Fulmer a shellacking.

And Fulmer couldn't beat Florida in a 5 year period even one time.

Someone who cant win at a high level at mich st

Yes, that's exactly why LSU wanted him.

I'd say they considered the winningest season they'd ever had to be somewhat of a high level.

Judging by his mediocre record it sure sounds as if he lost to a ton of garbage programs.

Remind me again of how Fulmer ran a national contender into the ground.

With the proud legacy of Denny Stolz, Darryl Rogers, Muddy Watters, and George Perles, Saban produced the best season in their program's existence.

Let's see Fulmer turn around a dumpster program with sanctions.

Fulmer is the better coach imo

 

[Champ22]

How many of fulmer's former assistants are now head coaches?

Cutcliffe and Clawson.

cutcliffe and who? Doesn't Saban have 5 now and that number will most likely just keep growing with the assistants he has now. That fact speaks volumes for how good Saban is.

Doug Marrone

Not sure I'd count a one year TE coach.
Posted via VolNation Mobile. Also, Majors brought in Cutcliffe.

 

[govols182]

Can we count a 1 year offensive coordinator then?

How long was clawson at ut?

Well it's not like his time under Fulmer helped his career or made him a better coach.

He landed his HC gig immediately after his stint here so I'd say it's a little more appropriate but still not a huge credit to Fulmer.

yeah but Phil hired him twice

 

[Champ22]

yeah but Phil hired him twice

Cutcliffe was the only one I thought of when comparing that aspect between the 2 coaches.

 

[YankeeVol]

Personally I think Bill Callahan is the best coach.....better than NS or PF :loco:

 

[Pepe_Silvia]

Comparing Saban and Fulmer is completely pointless. A quick review of their resumes makes it clear that Saban is monumentally better than Fulmer.
