Title: "Ranking the SEC's College Football Coaches" Post by: Chechem on April 05, 2012, 05:51:54 AM http://www.athlonsports.com/college-football/ranking-secs-college-football-coaches
Quote 1. Nick Saban, Alabama (5 years) Alma Mater: Kent State (1970-72) Record: 55-12 (2007-present) Record: 48-16 (LSU, 2000-04) Record: 34-24-1 (Michigan State, 1995-99) Record: 9-2 (Toledo, 1990) Overall: 146-54-1 (16 years) There’s not much debate about this: College football’s top coach resides in Tuscaloosa. Saban has led the Crimson Tide to two national titles and four straight seasons of at least 10 victories. Saban’s track record is impressive, going 48-16 in five years at LSU, 34-24-1 in five seasons with Michigan State and a 9-2 mark in 1990 with Toledo. Saban is certainly one of the most demanding coaches in college football, but there’s no question he knows what it takes to succeed. Saban has returned Alabama to national prominence and has brought in some of college football’s best recruiting classes over the last five seasons. As long as Saban sticks around in Tuscaloosa, expect Alabama to be ranked among the top 10 teams every preseason. And after winning two titles in five seasons, expect the Crimson Tide to only add to that total in the near future.... Poor Les. He got trashed in this review.

As for the BCS Championship game and trashing Miles, I think the reviewer fails to give Bama enough credit. It isn't like LSU played poorly, but Bama played to perfection on every play that game. Against Richt's team, the score would have been much worse. |
