Has Saban accomplished more in football…

[Deep Creek]

First recruiting classes (according to 247sports)
Alabama 31 players, average score 83.53
Michigan 14 players, average score 87.81

25?

25?

According to 247 it's 31.

According to 247 it's 31.

Just stirring at the oversigners.

Just stirring at the oversigners.

Harbaugh's next two years were 30 and 29, I believe, so we shouldn't hear much from them.

You still don't understand oversigning, do you?

 

[7Samurai13]

You still don't understand oversigning, do you?

Remember when Harbaugh was trying to force a player to take a medical scholarship, and forced the player to transfer so that he could play football?

Class ranks of Alabama 4 years before Saban:

2006: 15th
2005: 21st
2004: 30th
2003: 41st

Class ranks of Michigan 4 years before Harbaugh:

2014: 20th
2013: 4th
2012: 6th
2011: 26th

Saban's 1st 2 classes:

2007: 13th
2008: 3rd

Harbaugh's 1st 2 classes:

2015: 37th
2016: 6th

Fact: Harbaugh inherited more talent than Saban did at Alabama, and the best he could achieve was 3rd place...in his own division...in easier competition....without the negative image/sanctions Alabama had accumulated over the previous 7 years.

And in two years -- UM was 20-6, while Bama was 19-8. UM finished 12th in the country in year 1. 10th in the country in year 2. Bama was unranked year 1. 6th in year 2.

What have you proved with this?

You mean our starting DT, who was a starter since his freshman year and the 2nd highest ranked recruit from his class. Yeah, good example.

Neither did Michigan fans....until you did it.

So forcing players when they can still play football to take medical scholarships is only ok with you as long as it's Harbaugh doing it. Wasn't he part of the over rated classes that you continually told us had zero talent on them.

@bamabear82 , can we just get a picture of Trustme, and use if for the "Retard Rating" for post like this?

We definitely need to see if we can get something implemented.

Maybe we can get this put in the smilies as :trustme:

TrustMe's name must be Aaron, because he done messed up. He has me and Oklahoma fans agreeing with an Alabama fan.

The only dream about the situation was that it was his alma mater. Unless taking over a team a 5-7 team, no quarterback and less than 30 days to salvage any type of recruiting class, when you've had zero contact with any HS recruits in over 4 years, is a dream situation.

And Saban doesn't need any talent. He develops his own. Look at the jump in play from Tony Banks after Saban took over. He went from 11 TD and 6 ints pre-Saban to 9 TD and 15 ints. You can't pay enough for that type of coaching. And how many coaches can take a .500 team and in 4 years, turn them into a .500 team? The guy is a miracle worker I tell you.

OR...............he is a great coach in the one conference where he can utilize his best coaching attribute. Recruiting.

I'm pretty sure that's the exact situation Saban walked into....LOL. Hell, he didnt get hired until mid January into a disaster of a program and got them to a bowl in one year.

 

[4down20]

Damn. You know you are a special kind of stupid when an Auburn fan is stepping in.

Trustme getting his ass handed to him yet again in another thread:

 

[Wamu]

at the age of 53, than Coach Harbaugh? Harbaugh’s only been a HC at “major schools” for 6 seasons. Sir Nick, has been coaching at the majors for 21 years! Things Saban only wishes he could have been.

- Starting QB in P5 Conference

- BIG 10 MVP

- 1st Round Draft Pick NFL

- Pro Bowl NFL Player

- AFC Player of the Year

- 14 NFL Career as a Player

- NFC Champion HC

- NFL HC of the Year



I’m sure “little Nicky” would give up all those College Championships for just ONE of these Coach Harbaugh has on his resume…Obviously, Jimmy Jam has been a little busy kicking ass and taking names at being a more successful football guy.

Don't forget that Jimmy Jam can also leap tall buildings in a single bound.

 

[Wamu]

Jimmy Jam dropping in to say SABAN SUCKS!

Its ok, you can apply for a temporary membership for $19.95 and a pledge to sing "Yea Alabama" at all meetings. Oh, and you have to bring the Little Debbie Oatmeal Cream Pies for Saban.
