Saban versus Smart

Eh, first two years for Saban are hardly a fair judge. He inherited Bama right after NCAA sanction years. Smart inherited a far better program.

OK, take out the first 2 years. That makes the score Smart: 23 Saban: 20

What's it gonna look like next week?

Not sure. But it appears Saban did more with lesser talent.

Your math sucks. It's been at least a decade since Saban had "lesser talent".

 

[Toadman005]

Right. So in his first 5, or, years 3-5, he accomplished more with less.

But if the comparison is the years listed, you have 3 National Championships for Nick and 1 for Kirby.

So Nick achieved more with less.

It’s always weird when we agree.

Why?

Why?

It’s like when Sting was in the n.W.o., just feels wrong.

Took me a minute to understand the point, but you are both right.

Meh

That was a bloated bastardized NWO and everyone has long lost true interest.

In Kirby's defense, Saban didn't have to compete with the GOAT to win a Natty.

Valid point. No Saban the last few years and Smart has 2 more titles.

I still hold serve that had Richt not had to deal with Saban and Spurrier, he would have had at least 2.

1 for sure.

The SEC CG in 2012 was the true national championship.

Some really interesting stats here. I'm sure you'll enjoy the read.

If I had time, I'd compare them to 2001 Miami and 2011 Alabama, to get an apples to apples view.

Just How Stingy Was the Georgia Bulldogs' 2021 National Championship Defense? | Dawg Post

UGA's defense surrendered 24 points to Alabama in the second quarter of the SECCG. This was over 18% of the points allowed all season, in one quarter. Well, the critics might say: “that’s what happens when they played ‘the best,’ like Alabama.” However, in contrast, UGA’s defense surrendered only 28 points in the other seven quarters combined that it played against Alabama
