Where does Nick Saban rank as GOAT?

[Fondybadger]

Based on his accomplishments, where does Nick Saban rank as one of the best all time college football coaches?

 

[Fondybadger]

I'll set the line at him being the 4.5 best coach of all time, will you take the under and have him in your top 4 or over at 5 or worse?

 

[gps_3]

Sure I'm biased, but how do you not have him in the top 4?

He pulls his pants up too high n colors his hair

 

[Fondybadger]

Some other options

Bear Bryant
Woody Hayes
Bo Schembechler
Hayden Fry
Tom Osborne
Knute Rockne
Barry Alvarez
Amos Stagg
Joe Paterno
Walter Camp
Bill Snyder
Urban Meyer
Pop Warner
Lou Holtz
Barry Switzer
Bobby Bowden
Howard Schnellenberger
Ara Parseghian
Steve Spurrier
Peter Carroll
Dennis Erickson
Bill McCartney
Gary Patterson

and yes, that list is somewhat trolling

 

[Silkydiamonds]

Gotta be top 4 right?

 

[Silkydiamonds]

Dude is legit all time great. The others are too. But Saban checks every box AND has yet to have "bad" year since coming to Bama. Already had a natty before Bama & has won 4 of the last SEVEN!

Recency bias be damned, Saban is top 4

07 his first year was 6-6 I believe, so one .500 season. 1 lol

Dude has never had a losing season!! LMAO

Hes the Zeus of this shit

USC strongly disagrees that Saban already had a natty before Bama.

Agree top 4, probably put Urban in top 5 as well, only the 2 Notre Dame legends in Rockne and Leahy have a higher winning % than Meyer.

USC would be wrong

 

[twinkie13]

And he is top 4 easy

Prob the best

 

[dickydunn]

1 in my opinion. I was a kid at the end of bear's run. obviously have no clue about the old guys. he's the best in my lifetime. feel the same way about belicheck on sundays

 

[Fondybadger]

local radio station was talking about him being #1 today

 

[RetroVK]

Bryant, Saban, Bob Stull and then the rest

But Leahy has had quite the fall from glory...

 

[mrpickem]

Carrol and Paterno deserve consideration too
