re: Mike Bianchi: Bobby Bowden better than both Nick Saban and Bear Bryant

If the BCS still existed, Saban would probably have another title assuming Alabama would've beat FSU last season.

he ducked the SEC like a vag to pad his winning.

You really have to go back and see where Bowden started from at FSU. I went back and watched some old FSU games recently and even having a pretty decent knowledge of how he built FSU, I was floored by the way he did it.

You talk about the SEC, he played as many of them as he could in the seventies, eighties, and early nineties, usually on the road. Signed two-for-one, and three-for-one home and home series with almost any powerhouse that would do it. It was almost a barnstormers mentality, taking his fledgling program to fight anyone, anywhere. He played both of the major Florida schools every year, something neither of those two teams in that three-way can say. He took a program with little to no football success and made it into a premier powerhouse for two decades. FSU could have had a few more National championships... especially if the format was BCS/Final Four. They were almost always one of the top four teams in America at bowl time.


It is truly an amazing rise to power, and an unconventional route.

Bobby Bowden better than both Nick Saban and Bear Bryant
Do you agree?

---

no, Saban is better than both...Nick has 5 legit titles...Bobby Bowden and Bear Bryant only have one legit title. And the Bear won all his games with no scholarship limits.

Paterno himself said he was no match for Bear, in his autobiography

“It haunted my ego,” Paterno said in his autobiography, By The Book. “When I stood toe to toe with Bear Bryant, he outcoached me.”

if he's going that route, he might as well throw in howard schnellenberger too. miami was less than nothing, then for 20 years, they were the team to beat. sure, they don't have but a handful of titles in comparison to ND, USC, UA, etc. but that guy built a fricking program.

And started the program at FAU.

Schnellenberger is definitely in the discussion using the OP articles parameters.

And you have to take into account Fake Howard Schnellenberger who is tGOAT call in guest.

Bowden had 5 one loss seasons in which he didn't get the opportunity to compete for the title....

Sounds like he should have been playing in a tougher conference.

Jimmy Johnson is better college coach than Saban . Jimmy recruited more hall of gamers than Saban and majority of his hall of farmers were from okie state

---

So you're telling me Saban won with less talent? I'll take it.

quote:

---

it was just a matter of time till FSU was great in college football. Way too much talent around them to not be great.

---

I don't agree here... You still have to coach the players you get.. They may have gottem better but without Bowden they don't get where they were. IMO....

quote:

---

Same as LSU.

---

Also disagree... Just take a look at the ton of great talent that Miles has gotten here and look at his season to season records against say Bowdens FSU teams... You still have to coach and develop players once they get to your school... Saban is BY FAR the best at doing this at this time.. We may NEVER see such a thing that Saban is doing now ever again... Its simply amazing....

Here's what I get out of this:

1. I had no idea who Mike Bianchi is
2. Mike Bianchi trolled Roll Tide Nation
3. Mike Bianchi is now famous
4. His webpage is getting a bunch of hate clicks

Mission accomplished.
