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.

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.

Ole Miss in 2001, Rkansas in 2000 and 2002 and Auburn like a step child in 2002.

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.

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

No, it gets brought up on a daily basis. Thanks for the reminder though. Actually can we get a sticky just so nighttrainlane 13 won't have to remind us tomorrow.

Haven't forgot those losses but in a weird way I think he used those ugly defeats to drive points home to his players.

The perception is, no matter how you feel about the man, he has won two National Championships with two different SEC teams.
