Not all of them but most of them yes. For whatever reason everyone seems to apply a Bama/LSU defense to Vandy, Arky, Ole Miss etc etc etc.. and they aren't close to on par. Pathetic offenses help as well.

As for Saban. No question he can coach but he's as dirty as they get and thus mostly why folks don't like him.

How come no conference can use their great offense to dethrone the SEC? How many consecutive championships has the league won? Its getting embarrassing that the SEC has basically kept the MNC.

Why? Did you not watch Texas/Bama? With true freshman QB Texas got within a score. His defense was dominating. He went conservative with offense. Then goes for a 50 yd FG and gives Horns a short field? Really? Play conservative or don't, but pick one please. Almost blew it. Did it this year vs LSU again. He knows he has kicking problems and again attempts 3 kicks over 49 yds. At MSU he was solid. He admits he his defense is stolen from other people. He is not a footballs genious in Xs and Os sense, but I would not want to recruit against him. There is a reason he is the second most successful MSU coach of the last 20 yrs and s forgotten man in the NFL.

Yep. Says it all. Did at LSU too. That's three titles in a span of about ten years. Lets not kid ourselves. He is the real deal. His former DT coach has brought some of that nastiness to the interior of our D-Line. Our guys are playing a whole lot better and frankly we are recruiting better at the position. Great move to go JUCO to fix a problem he saw coming with us losing Howell.

Also people forget how bad 'Bama was before he got there. Anyone remember Shula coaching Bama? How about LSU before he got there. They were ok but now that program is great.

I don't follow.

Hows this for a joke:
2006--FL 41 Ohio State 14 (Big 10 Loser)
2007--LSU 38 Ohio State 24 (Big 10 loser)
2008--FL 24 Oklahoma 14 (Big 12 Loser)
2009--Bama 37 Texas 21 (Big 12 Loser)
2010--Auburn 22 Oregon 19 (Pac 10 Loser)
2011--'Bama 21 LSU 0 (All SEC)*

Can't blame them for Oklahoma State not taking care of business. It would have been OSU vs 'Bama. I think Bama would have won. nothing against OSU but they couldn't hold Stanford to save their lives. That game just about came down to the last play.

Man we put up 21 with Gilbert at the helm.

Talent doesn't always need a leader? Surely you jest.

I don't think I ever mentioned how bad bama was. What are you talking about?

He's got a few titles that confirm his tenure as a college coach.There are not too many people debating whether Switzer was a good coach at the college level. Not many teams were keen to run up against those powerhouse squads the sooners put together under Switzer. Heck our coach coached for him. I hated them but I admired the talent on their teams.

That is where we disagree. There are plenty of ways to win. There are coaches that win through great teaching and game plans. Some win by out-talenting people. I disagreed with the statement that in one game Saban is the best. That implies he is a great game coach and game planner. I disagree. I think he is a grteat evaluator of talent and kills it in the living room. With his personality I have no idea how he does it, but he does it. It does not make him a bad coach. I hate when people say Mack is bad, because all he can do is recruit. Well recruiting is 60-70 percent of the game in college. In one game give me Rhoads or Synder. Winning doesn't mean you are great at every facet of coaching. It just means you are great at some aspects

Wait, Saban isn't a great coach?
