re: Is Nick Saban the luckiest coach ever?

The reason he looks like a fish out of water is that the spread doesn't require a coach to be a great tactician. If your receiver is better than his defender you win, regardless of scheme. Saban has yet to find the answer for winning 1 on 1 matchups more consistently.
AN elite spread offense is Saban's kryptonite, he consistently loses to elite spread offense teams, from Oklahoma in 2013, Ohio State in 2014, Clemson in 2016 and 2018, and LSU in 2019. To say those teams didn't need or have great coaches is quite a stretch.
Also, many years Bama has been at or near the top in recruiting rankings, so surely lacking talented defenders weren't his only problem in those loses.
