A spot on the A&M Bama game got me wondering, who has beaten Saban back to back seasons

So I checked and from what I have found, only 2 coaches have beaten Saban since he has been at Bama.

Les Miles 2010-2011
Hugh Freeze 2014-2015

ETA other schools best I can tell

At LSU

Steve Spurrier 2000-2001

At Mich State

Tom Osbourne 1995-1996
Hayden Fry 1995-1996
Joe Paterno 1995-1996
Lloyd Carr 1996-1998
Joe Tiller 1997-1999

Wouldn't doubt Jimbo finds a way to win. He always wins when there's talk about his arse being on fire and then he pulls a win out of his arse like Bama last year. They'll then proceed to be 8&4 or worse.

Didn't see the "at Bama" part until I opened the thread, but Spurrier was the only one to do it while Saban was here, 2000-2001.

On the road, against that defense, with King at QB?

They're not going to score double digits

Yes, that's why Hugh Freeze is in the OP.

He actually beat Saban 3 times at Bama. 07, 10, & 11

Has anyone else done that?

It's not just QB either. A&M is down 9 out of 22 starters.

I think Gus Malzahn did ('13, '17, '19).

For some reason, this just makes me chuckle.

That makes me even more glad we won at Jordan-Hare, since even Saban can't do it consistently. It helps that I was there too.
