I don't.

I also remember watching us get pwned by VA Tech in Lynchburg. Not fun, and the Almighty Saban was at the helm for that unmitigated embarrassment.

I also remember how frustrated and restless the LSU contingent was in the stands, and how they complained bitterly about the offensive play-calling. Saban's name was definitely mud that day.

I know many or most people on the Rant regard him as He-Who-Can-Do-No-Wrong, but they just have short (or selective) memories.

also add to that we started the season 6-1 and were ranked #7 in the first bcs poll in 2002. Mauck gets hurt, we finish the year 2-4 with Randall. So Sabanalso has trouble winning without a manageable quarterback, sounds very similar to our struggles the past two seasons. Saban is obviously more than likely the best coach in the nation but is not infallible as many like to believe, and he also gets passes the other coaches don't

The fact of the matter is Saban is more dangerous than he was back then. His offense is built around a power running game at a time when everyone is going with smaller, faster defenders in order to stop the spread. This is in addition to the insane talent he is bringing to run his pro style defense.

when did he say he couldn't? All he said is that saban is not the god some people here act like he is.

I figured the saban freaks would come out in force over this thread.

Let's start a list of all the great FB coaches in history with no startlingly bad losses on their resumes.

...........

Short list huh.

Now let's list the awful coaches with compelling wins on their resumes.

I'll start. Dinardo vs UF.

There. You see. This is why actually KNOWING FOOTBALL rather than simply citing specific incidents enables people to make judgments about such coaches.

bullshite. He built on what Dinardo started. Which was taking LSU out of a down cycle(which EVERY football program goes through)and maintaining the up swing.

and is basically responsible for two NCs!!!

No, that would be ONE NC, PERIOD.


and not to mention completely turned alabama's football program around and will win multiple NCs!!!

Completely? Yea, right. You go ahead and believe that kid. The easter bunny will bring you candy every year too.

So, you would trade the NC's you got for those to be wins? While the ULM loss was a bitter pill, I can asure you that the Bama Nation would not swap that loss for the 2009 SEC, BCS or our current Saban era record of 33 & 8. That is to say in 2007 with little time for recruiting he was 7 & 6, 2008 12 & 2 and 2009 14 and 0.

I am saying it's Nick Saban. My perception all along is that Saban is a much better coach. Because he is.
