Guy was pretty good. He made Alabama the Standard.
Saban got to the top of the mountain and defended it for longer than anyone in the modern era. Very impressive, what impressed me the most was his ability to put to have the #1 class of recruits year after year. Of course his 2nd season went 11-2 losing SEC Championship game and the bowl game. That was a great coaching job with mainly Mike Shula players and the freshman he had brought in.Then winning the natty in his 3rd year. 4th year 10-3 with maybe the most talented team he had. If you just look at the players that went pro. Very debatable but even if it wasn't the most talented it was very Talented.
After that year never won less than 11 in a year, be hard for anyone to ever accomplish that much success again.
He put Alabama back on top a great one no doubt.
