I'd lobby Saban resurrected Bama into the most dominant football dynasty in NCAA history.
And there is still a coach at that program who has more titles than him. I think if Harbaugh was at Bama he would have as much or more success than Saban. I am sorry that angers you. But that does not seem like a crazy thought to me

Saban's 1999 season at Michigan State was its best since 1965 and highest final ranking since 1966.

Harbaugh never won a conference title at Stanford. Prior to Shaw, their last conference title was in 1999.

you actually have a very bad way of discussing who is better. You think because one is more accomplished and decorated he is better. Could Saban be better? Yes. But your argument of titles and wins is a completely illogical point when one coach has not had the same opportunity.

You literally just used titles and wins in discussing Bryant and Saban at Alabama.

Saban never won a conference title at MSU and his best bowl game was the Citrus Bowl. Harbaugh at least went to two BCS bowls at Stanford.

Only to show success has been obtained at that program before. But i still hate the title argument in terms of the success of a coach in a season. In 2012, if oregon doesnt choke and they stay undefeated and go to the title game, did Saban all of a sudden coach worse that year? No. He would have done the exact same. That is my only point

Results make money.....not projections

What undermines your position is you confidence he would've continued to replicate that single seasons success. You fail to acknowledge him having a once in a generation talent in Luck to pull it off. What about the regression of USC during that time? Did their unfortunate situation not aid in his ONE SEASON?

You also completely ignore the strength of the SEC.......so, the PAC 12 is on par with the SEC at that time? Oh shite! I was unaware Stanford plays in the SEC West!

No I am not. I hate hate hate bringing up titles in college. I like to judge the coaches based on season records. I should have said bear bryant had more successful seasons at Bama

along with turning Michigan State into a solid program


That's laughable. Michigan State was far from a solid program when Saban left. They didn't become relevant until Dantonio showed up

i ignore none of that. I agree with your points. I still think Harbaugh is a better coach. You think Saban is a better coach. I think both opinions have merit and neither is crazy. We wont truly be able to know unless Harbaugh comes back to college and coaches a Major program

No credit to Harbaugh for convincing Luck to come to Stanford when it was an awful, moribund program? And it wasn't just Luck that got them there. Harbaugh made that team tough and dominant on the line of scrimmage, and turned Toby Gerhart into a Heisman finalist.
