The Blue Board

They would have cornered the market. At least, in the East they would have. SOS has taken USCe and put them on the map when they are/were statically one of the worst SEC programs of all time. Think about what he could do with talent. Think about what he could do with his pick of whatever QB he wanted. Or whatever WR he wanted. Or actually having a defense What he would do is, win like he did in the late 90's IMO.

CUM was a good hire at the time. He did well with Tebow but he didn't do anything SOS couldn't have done IMO. CUM had UF as the premier team in the country and quit. He quit because things got tough. He knew he couldn't compete with Saban so he left. I mean, the poor guy literally almost died. Now instead of riding out that great success and using it to recruit at an even higher level, you have to transition to another coach and a completely different offense. SOS would be in his 4,000th year at UF now and have them reloading. Now, instead, they are trying to plug in players to fit a system left with holes. It has put them behind the 8 ball for a few years thus allowign other programs to catch up. They are not alone at the top of the East anymore.

Also, Muschamp will never win the SEC IMO. He was a great pull, but the guy is just not an elite SEC head coach. To be fair, though, not many are. He just isn't ready for prime time yet. SO after he leaves, that will be your 3rd coach when instead you could have had one. Now instead of winning the East every year and playing Saban or LSU for it all, you are just trying to get back to Atlanta. Basically, it has cost UF their foothold on the SEC and they might not get it back til Saban leaves.

Let's see....Saban has won 3 out of the last 4 National Titles. Name one Head Football Coach who isn't the least bit envious or jealous of that?

I seriously doubt though that he could have accomplished that same feat by coaching at USC instead of Bama. With the tradition at Bama, I think Spurrier could have won a title there too. Bama has the resources that any successful coach could do well with.

While Saban is not one of my favorite coaches, I have a great deal of respect for what he has accomplished. It does take a good coach to win 3 of 4 titles even at a school with the tradition of Bama, and he has done an excellent job. If he continues to stay at Bama, he will win even more.

The idea that spurrier can't be jealous of Saban because he turned down the Alabama job seems off base. If anything, I think it would add to the jealousy. He realizes he made a mistake and he can't stand to see the success Saban has had, so he feels the need to take jabs at every turn to make himself feel better. It would be very hard to turn down a great opportunity and then see someone come in and establish themselves as the best coach of modern college football.

Stupid post. You were #1 when we stomped that ass a few years ago.

Maybe because he realized he was wrong not to want it....

I'm clearly never going to convince you, but Saban did face a great challenge at Alabama. Sure, he has it easier now, but it didn't start that way. His first year we went 7-6 and lost to Lousiana Monroe. That's horrible. You can't call that anything other than a challenging rebuilding job. His second year was deceiving because we went undefeated through the regular season but folded late against Florida and didn't even show up to play Utah. That team showed its true colors the last two games of the year. Third year he won an undefeated NC with mostly inherited starters. I don't see how that doesn't look like it was a huge challenge and that he was the only one (or at least one of very few) capable of accomplishing that so quickly. I'm just saying that SCAR is obviously a challenge in a different way, but it's not like Saban walked into a peachy situation by any stretch of the imagination.

Lol sc people trying to talk football. Lsu wasn't shit before saban. They literally hadn't done anything. Saban changes that around. Then he takes a floundering Bama program and rights the ship. And you try to say Spurrier is on par with saban. Lol, not even close

yeah, they sucked. 4th best All time record in the SEC, 14th best all time winning percentage in the nation. been to over 45 bowl games, 14 conference titles, 8 division titles

745–393–47 (.649) all time record and winning percentage, they were historically a terrible program.

I have whined many times (on boards) how i wish Hbc would do things Saban does on non-gameday so im not dogging Saban.
.
The idiot suggestiin the Hbc is jelly makes me wonder who bama fans would want driving thier racecar. Sc has dale driving its car---i guess bama would have richard petty (all-time wins leader)

And you don't think the resources there are better??

Alabama all time record 827–321–43 (.712)

LSU all time record 745–393–47 (.649)

Seems like he picked 2 schools with excellent tradition.
