Saban did an outstanding job but Paul Johnson should get this award....
So Saban takes a team from 7-6 picked to finish 3rd-4th in the west to finishing possibly that high nationally and 12-1 losing to the possible national champs in a close game in the SECCG.... and to a BCS bowl.
Paul Johnson takes a 7-6 team picked about the same in their division to the chik-fil-a bowl... and they didn't win their division.
I mean... don't get me wrong CPJ did a GREAT job this year and deserves a lot of credit, but I dont see how you could compare the two. This was a special year for Alabama. we were legit national title contenders and were a quarter away from heading into the NCG the number 1 team in america.
