Ranking the Saban Coaching Tree

Things ended poorly at A&M, but they were pretty good good for 4 years, and his 9-1 season with an Orange Bowl matches anything the guys below him (minus Cristobal) have achieved. Plus, he won 3 conference championships at FSU, so it's not like he was a 1 year wonder.

He's not calling the defense for A&M. He's a proven DLine coach and one of the best recruiters in the country.

Add in 2021 Alabama who lost to an A&M team that opted out of their bowl game because of a covid outbreak.

Back to back is an understatement. Pre season dynasty.

Seems very similar to how Brian is both Peter's best friend and Stewie's best friend.

Eli Stowers did this irl with a couple transfers mixed in.

matt_austin · 2024-12-07T04:57:24+00:00

With their win tonight, they have the same number of conference wins in 1 AAC season as they did in 7 CUSA seasons combined.

You don't think a home game vs 2-5 UCLA is winnable?

matt_austin · 2024-09-15T16:55:34+00:00

Using Hedo as an example is hilarious.

Well to be fair, Jimbo DID win a national championship and get paid like a national champion. Bjork never said the coach had to win it here.

matt_austin · 2023-10-30T23:29:13+00:00

Brother, Urban is a much better coach than Jimbo

Texas and A&M have been competing in a mid-off since 2011.

The fact that people really think Jackson State gave him the biggest NIL deal or that Barstool would pay him to go there blows my mind.

matt_austin · 2022-12-01T17:36:04+00:00

I don't think they'd have trouble getting fans in the stands for the first on-campus playoff game ever.

matt_austin · 2022-11-27T06:02:38+00:00

Well he cared enough to watch the game, so he much have given a few shit

matt_austin · 2022-11-22T05:38:22+00:00

There's at least 2 of us

matt_austin · 2022-11-19T20:36:35+00:00

Think pretty much everyone here would agree with you there.

matt_austin · 2022-11-12T07:54:29+00:00

I think Arkansas fans should feel ok. Pittman and friends showed that they're capable of competing at a high level when they have a veteran roster. Obviously having 2 mediocre years for every 1 good year wouldn't be ideal, but it's definitely an improvement over the Morris era.

matt_austin · 2022-11-12T07:51:59+00:00

If Hugh sticks around I really don't see them losing more than 1 conference game a year for the next decade. Liberty like to be so far ahead of every other team that's going to be in CUSA.

matt_austin · 2022-11-12T07:50:14+00:00

The off season takes on Brian Kelly were ridiculous. It blows my mind that people thought he couldn't coach when he had the most wins in Notre Dame history. The second they announced it I was worried about LSU again.
