In early January, 2007 Nick Saban was announced as the head coach of the Alabama Crimson Tide football program. Since that time, the Tide has amassed a 99-18 (.846 winning percentage) record on the field, including playoff games. See the year-by-year record below:

2007: 7-6
2008: 12-2
2009: 14-0
2010: 10-3
2011: 12-1
2012: 13-1
2013: 11-2
2014: 12-2
2015: 8-1
Total: 99-18

If the Tide is able to beat Mississippi State on Saturday, Saban would enter triple digits in wins while at Alabama.

(Of course, the NCAA vacated 5 of Alabama’s wins in 2007, bringing the official record that year to 2-6. So it may be that according to their books the Tide would have to win 6 more games for Saban to officially reach the century mark. It just so happens that Alabama has 3 regular season games with the potential for up to 3 championship/playoff games left this season, for a total of 6)

In my mind, Saban has been unmatched in consistency and dominance since he moved to Tuscaloosa. I’m glad he’ll be at the helm on Saturday when he goes for #100.

Good luck Coach!

Good question. I tried to do some researching on some great current and former coaches that came to mind. This is not a comparison of coaches. Different times and different schedules/competition make it impossible to compare greatness.

Coaches Bear Bryant and Barry Switzer both had 18 losses when they got their 100th win with Alabama and Oklahoma, respectively. Coach Bryant coached at a few other schools before arriving in Alabama.

Frank Leahy had 13 losses at the century mark spanning Boston College and Notre Dame.

Knute Rockne had 12 losses from 1918-1930 at Notre Dame when he got to 100.
Robert Neyland had 12 losses at his 100th win with Tennessee.

As far as current coaches go, Urban Meyer had 17 losses when he got his 100th FBS win in 2013 spanning Utah, Florida, and OSU. He is 47-3 with OSU.

If I am missing somebody, please add below.

Different times, didn't situations......still, not a bad group of coaches to find yourself among in the history of college football (except Meyer).

Coach Saban got a late start as a head coach being a outstanding assistant in the NFL. I think he might have secret personal goals, it will never be win total, but he could get the NC's. The number he has with less years as a head coach is why he is universally considered a top 5 of all time.

Just out of curiosity I looked up Pete Carroll's record at USC & see how it compared to Coach Saban's current run at Bama..

His record at USC 96-19 (83.5%) in 9 years (2001-2008)
