Trying to wrap my head around why 1980? what is the series record all time? isnt it 51 - 25- 5? who has the 51 wins? seems like a cherry picker was brought in to compile some hand picked stats. Here's a hint for those that dont know why, Bear was on his way out and Bama was on its way down aside from a few good years...until Saban stepped on the campus, then greatness was starting to be restored.
Isn't Harbaugh 0-6 for division or conference titles in a real conference, 0-2 for playoff appearances?
So what stops or stopped those coaches from doing it where they were/are. Clearly Nebraska had money, so does Michigan, so does Washington, so does Florida. If money is the only deciding factor and they are better coaches, why not where they were? must be another factor involved, wonder if you can figure out what that factor is and let me clue you in, Bama was on the skids when Saban took it over. My guess is the truth could fall on you like a ton of bricks and you still wouldnt see it.
I almost played baseball for an NAIA team in Talladega, weird doesn't begin to describe that place.
Recruiting is part of coaching. Its an intangible that is often overlooked, but its part of the coaching job and is why he is a great coach, not above average or average. Yes Alabama is a talent rich area, but Saban reaches across the US to get talent as well. He doesnt shop in one store, he looks at talent in other teams back yards as well, and plucks them from under the noses of some great coaches.He also doesnt mind taking in project coaches that need a bot of rehabbing of their identity or career, such as Kiffin, Sarkisian et al.
