Let's say he decided he wanted to try the college game and got hired at a LSU or Texas or USC. Do you think he would create a dynasty on par with Saban or would he struggle to adapt to college football and all that comes with it


A lot of people compare Saban and Belichick but they're two very different coaches. Do you know that the last time the Patriots finished the season ranked higher in total defense than total offense was 2006? And the last season they finished the season ranked higher in scoring defense than scoring offense was 2009. Plus I can't imagine a Saban coached team ever throwing the ball 56 times and running it 14 times in a close game like Belichick did against the Broncos last year.

To be fair, when you are continuously finishing in the top 5 for scoring offense and snaps per game, it's tough for the defense to top that.

The Patriots are hands down the best in the league at opponent specific game planning. In the 2014 playoffs, Brady threw 50 passes against Baltimore and the next week LeGarrette Blount ran for a gazillion yards against Indianapolis.
