As a college football fan and an outsider looking at the Alabama program, I would have never believed that Coach Bryant's six national championships at Alabama could ever be equaled. Then along came Nick Saban and matched that in just 12 seasons. It doesn't even seem possible but his dedication, his drive and his commitment to excellence is unequaled in any era of college football. The man is like Fielding Yost, Wallace Wade, Knute Rockne, John McKay, Woody Hayes and Bear Bryant all rolled into one dude. The man has coached three Heisman Trophy winners and also had three or four runner-up Heisman candidates. At 69 years old Nick seems so energetic that it would not surprise me one bit if he wins two more national championships before he retires. He's simply the greatest college football coach of all time.

I hate it when people say that your championship team is not as good as others because of the competition that they played against. I’m like duh. You’re only as good as you can be in the here and now. Would you rather all of the other teams decimated by illness injury or whatever not play and just automatically Crown Alabama champions? It’s always a fun conversation to talk about who would be considered the best team of all time but when it comes down to it, we’ll never really know. Don’t take it so seriously. Shoot I’m a Bama fan and I still maintain that the 95 Cornhuskers are the greatest team of all time, the 01 Hurricanes at # 2. Do y’all think that the 85 Bears would be a dominant team in today’s NFL? Absolutely not. Quit comparing things like you actually know anything. We won, get over it.
