Saban at Alabama - by the numbers

[BamaMoon]

I think the list is incomplete without showing 15 straight wins against UT.

But seriously, the record of only 1 loss in the SECCG is AMAZING.

That's the toughest game to win year in and year out. CNS once famously said it's tougher to win the SEC than NC.

BTW, most of those wins were against UF and UGA. Simply amazing stuff!

This guy Saban, I guess he was a pretty good hire! Thanks Coach Mal Moore

I saw an interview with Mal about ten years ago on one of those TV news magazine type programs, maybe Primetime Live or whatever. Anyway, he said, and I quote, "Nick Saban is the best investment the University of Alabama ever made."

The interviewer was like, "Are you serious?"

Mal went on to explain that income to the University had literally tripled after we started winning again, in tickets, memorabilia, and such.

I think the list is incomplete without showing 15 straight wins against UT.

As far as I'm concerned, that's a 17-year streak with one anomaly.

 

[Probius]

Coach Saban is 3 wins away from 300 career wins, which is an astounding milestone. He's also 26 wins away from tying Coach Bryant for career wins and wins at Alabama. RTR!

When Coach Saban brought "The Process" to Tuscaloosa, it was the perfect storm waiting to happen, what suxs for the rest of college football I thought this year was his best coaching job to date & it's not over cause obviously the man has a few years left in the tank to add to our NC collection..

"aight"..

Is it true that; if you were to play all four years at Alabama, Every single recruiting class has at least one championship ring.

Ditto. Tide fans need to live in the moment and understand exactly what we have now. I don't think we do as a fanbase right now.

If and when we do this year: Yes

 

[Cruloc]

I’m not sure how seriously we should take this. It predicted LSU to beat us over 70% of the time. Ole Miss and UGA were predicted to beat us as well. The real capper is Bama only beat Chattanooga 68% of the time…

that's an FCS playoff Chattanooga.

But I am old enough to remember Coach Bryant and God I do miss those Sunday afternoons when he did the Paul Bear Bryant show a replay of the Saturday game. Back then you were only on tv 2 times per year so it was great to get a overview with the video of the game. But gone are those days and now we have another dynasty.. RTR

I remember watching it twice; once around noon on Sunday and then again that evening around 10:30 or 11:00pm.

He's the G.O.A.T.... just soloing over everybody...

Funny video clip but kind of disturbing LOL

For those of use blessed to have been alive long enough to lived thru Coach Bryants era, and then the wandering in the dark until Coach Stallings, Yes I totally appreciate what we have now. The years we didn't know who was going to show up on the field as a team each year was depressing. As we all know history repeats itself. I just hope when CNS retires we do not go back into that wilderness until we find another CPB or CNS. So I for one am truly enjoying and soaking up all the happiness and fun that winning has meant to all our fans, young and old. RTR

with playoff expansion and the possibility of playing up to 17 games, he could bypass Bryant sooner than you would have thought.

…and if we win this year it extends out a few more…crazy!!!

 

[CullmanTide]

Yes all this is great guys. But what of all the coaches he's embarrassed, retired or sent to the nervous hospital? Think of all the rule changes put in place. You know "just to keep things fair".

 

[GulfCoastTider]

Since Nick Saban arrived at Alabama...

The sun rises peacefully in the east; men work safely and handsomely in their fields and factories; children sit content in their mothers' laps; the trains run on time and God rests more comfortably on his Throne.

Crimson vest. Crimson guitar. It's gotta be him, right?
This is from a John Tesh concert recorded some years ago. The song is Roundball Rock and Tesh wrote it for NBC Sports' presentations of the NBA Playoffs.

The virtuoso's name is Wayne Johnson and he is of course a Grand Master in his trade. His solo comes in at about the 2:30 mark.

Mash here if the embed complains.
