there is no way you can convince me that we wouldnt have at least 2-3 more national titles since saban left.

Hell, we’d have two more minimum if he still left but just stayed in the NFL or just didn’t land in our conference and division.

2011 and 2012 are pretty much a given.

2006 is another obvious contender but we didn’t really miss out on that one due to defense.

2013 may be even more likely because no way the D collapses like it did if Saban was still around. Assuming those same offensive players are Tigers, that’s an NC team with Saban in BR instead of playing against him in Tuscaloosa.

But yeah it’s a fair statement to think Saban was good for another one somewhere if he never leaves BR.


But it’s also easy to forget Saban in BR was not the same Saban at Bama. LSU wasn’t some terminator program destroying the SEC.

Maybe he evolved after the humble pie of the NFL but honestly it’s just the system he was able to implement at Alabama with a blank check, something he wouldn’t have had here.

He was always a great coach. Going to Alabama made him the GOAT.
