Apples and oranges. Let Saban have the same players at Bama like a Tom Brady for a decade. He would never lose - he doesn’t anyway. Lol. You are coaching teenagers. You have to recruit. They have standards that must be met. Ask people in Alabama or down south for that matter if they give a fuck about the NFL. Nope. College is no cakewalk compared to the pros. He coached under BB in Cleveland so of course he would give him the respect but Bear Bryant is as much a legend as Vince Lombardi.

The interesting thing about Bellichek is that (except for Brady) he turns over players as fast as any college team. It would be interesting see Saban recruit at New Mexico St. Its the name Alabama that's the main draw. College is way easier than the pros. College teams play maybe 4 equal games each year. The rest are conference patsies or a lower division team on a money grab. The talent mis-matches are so big in college that coaching isn't as crucial as it is in the pros. That's why most college hot-shot coaches wash out in the pros.

Yet before Saban got there the name Alabama got them their last championship in 1992. Before that 1978. He is about to win 6 in 9 years. Before him they won 6 since 1964. You sure its the name?
Im not taking anything away from BB. Just not ready to say Saban should kiss his rings.

He's a better salesman than past Bama coaches. Its easier to sell Alabama than Troy St. College coaches are 80% salesman, 20% coach. He's winning way more games due to talent mis-matches than his coaching prowess. Now that his talent is winning it makes his sales job even easier.

Went 9-2 with Toledo way before he was a big name. I think u r selling him a little short in the coaching department. Otherwise Bama would literally hire a “salesman” and let other guys coach them up. Lol.
And just for the record he coached like one year in Miami. Took BB more than a year to gain success as a HC in the NFL. I personally do not think we will ever find out if he can do it anyway so....

What Saban is doing at Bama is ridiculous. You have to give that miserable grumpy bastard some serious credit. He is what the Redskins need, some attention to detail and discipline. But that doesn't mean it turns into more wins.

Totally agree that this team needs way more attention to detail and a big shot of discipline.
