Howard Schnellenberger built Miami into a powerhouse. After he left 2 coaches (Jimmy Johnson,Dennis Erikson) continued on what was built and won NC's. Miami ruled CFB for 12 years. LSU is on year 8 right now. Jury is out whether or not LSU is really a power or just "johnny come lately" that was built by Nick Saban. This is why LSU gets so little respect.


The problem is that since Bear died Alabama has not been a consistent national power. For example. LSU has more SEC championships than Bama since 1982, more BCS bowls in the BCS era than Bama, more BCS championship appearances, currently more BCS championships, leads the head to series over the last 30 years. After the Bryant era, Alabama has not dominated the SEC consistently, and has
in fact been behind LSU since 2001. That is more than 10 years. The question could be asked when Saban leaves what will prevent Bama from sliding back into the middle of the SEC where they mostly have been over the last 30 years, being in 5th place in the number of conference championships over the last 30 years.

I purposely placed this thread on here to see if there would be a handful of Gumps that would appreciate what is upon us. Simply put, the two best college coaches at the present time in all of college football. What I realize is, is that not one Gump has the balls to admit that. Further more, Bama has the second best coach in college football from a head to head comparison. Facts are so hard to run from. So let me say this Gumps, RUN FORREST RUN!!!!!!!!!!!
