It almost feels like we're running out of things to say about Saban, not only because they've been good for so long, but because they've succeeded in such an easy-to-understand manner.
And because that easy-to-understand approach is so nearly impossible to pull off, Alabama's SEC companions are slowly starting to lose their minds. Simply winning is no longer quite enough. Les Miles nearly got fired at LSU, and he's won 70 games in seven years. Mark Richt did get fired at Georgia after a run of 50 wins in five seasons. Barely two years after winning the SEC and reaching the national title game at Auburn, Gus Malzahn might be a few months from being fired. Et cetera.
Saban is setting the bar impossibly high, and he's the only one regularly clearing it.
