There are some real BS takes in this thread. Saban is absolutely the GOAT of college football coaching. People here downplaying the coaching because of the recruiting must not fully grasp all that being a head ball coach entails. 

While Bama has had great recruiting classes during Saban’s tenure, several other programs (Georgia, FSU, OSU, Texas, Florida during the early Saban years) have had classes consistently ranked close to or above Bama’s. Based upon this, one could (should?) assume that those same programs should have multiple NCs over the same time period, if Saban were just a JAG coach. To the contrary, Saban has gotten more out of his recruiting classes than these other programs. 

He is absolutely the GOAT when it comes to all that being a head ball coach entails. 

After fighting about bill Belichick not being the GOAT and huddlers not wanting harbs or tomlin cause "reasons".

 

I didnt have the energy to even begin defending nick not being the clear college goat. 

 

This boards IQ has dropped 30 points during this 2-15 season. Just pure shiit takes.

ESPN is showing on their ticker that Bama's big receiver recruit just de-committed because of Saban's retirement.

I mean yeah, 99% have been going there to play for Saban.   Bama about to take a huge step back no matter who the coach is that comes in.

This board:

Bill Belichick sucks

Nick Saban sucks

Jim Harbaugh sucks

Mike Vrabel sucks

Pete Carroll sucks

Panthers: soon to be 5 head coaches in 16 months

Recruiting is a part of college football

And as I pointed out, many programs have been right there with Alabama in terms of recruiting since Saban’s hiring. Yet, only Georgia and Clemson have won more than one championship.

Yep.  No way to rationally doubt Saban's legacy.

Tepper should at least see if he’s interested in a consultant type role to try and get the most out of Bryce. I’d rather saban in that role than Caldwell tbh 

Yes, he'll know how to maximize the limited ceiling of our crawl space of a quarterback. We will be the most formidably supine team next year. No one will crawl better than us.

As an AU fan I hated that MF’er for his first 3 or 4 years at Bama.

But, eventually, I came to terms with it.  Hating Saban was akin to hating The Terminator for wanting to kill Sarah Conner.

fuger was a college football cyborg.

So no hate.  Fugging glad he’s gone.  Any replacement is a significant step down. This pleases me.

P.S. He’s not going back to the NFL and that would be a bad idea anyway.  Dude is gonna make serious retirement bank as a college football studio commentator.

Bama has been the costistant top recruiter over last decade plus. When Georgia and Clemson  entered that top realm for a few years  they won.  Not sure that's the argument you were going for.

Bama has been consistently in the top 3 or so. The argument I am making is that one extra 5-star recruit in a class doesn’t automatically lead to championships over teams that have similar recruiting classes. That is where the “he’s just a JAG coach” falls apart, because those other similarly situated teams should have won more championships.

      With the first pick, don't draft a QB? Draft a DE? C'mon!

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Oh good lord Interest doesn't mean interest in making a bad trade to take the player, that's why I had such a long post, to accurately describe why those are two different things, but you don't like to listen to that stuff.  Being interested in a player doesn't live in a vacuum. It's very simple... there isn't a #1 draft pick type of grade on any of these QB's, if there was, we'd just take them.  You can't bluff a pick everyone knows you won't make, and trying to trade the pick is the CLEAR signal that you're not taking the QB. Just because the Raiders would have interest, doesn't mean they're going to bail us out of a situation we don't want to be in, they'd be smart about it and just sit put, let us take a non QB as we'd be telling the world we're not taking one just by trying to trade the pick, and then they'd take him at #2 (either with their own pick or by trading less to get that one). Oh, and your point of "if nobody is willing to make the trade, you obviously just take the best QB" is quite literally the dumbest thing I've ever read on here. If nobody is willing to trade up to take the QB, then it's OBVIOUS that the QB isn't worth taking with that pick, so OBVIOUSLY taking the best QB there is just OBVIOUSLY stupid and a bad pick. The moral of it is if there is a QB worth taking, we're taking them and not making the trade.  If there isn't a QB worth taking there, nobody is trading up to #1 to take one, we just showed the NFL how bad of an idea that is 2 years ago, it's really not hard to see. You keep making up this mythical situation where there is a QB who has shown to be worth trading up to #1 for and we'll be able to leverage that into a trade.  But we're the most QB needy team in the league, if we end up with the #1 pick, either we are taking a QB #1 or no QB is going #1 unless we get VERY lucky and two teams in the Top 5 fall in love with one prospect and we can play them off each other and fleece one of them. But again, I can't see that happening, as if there was a QB worthy of that, we're just taking him ourselves.

      Sanders is with Tom Brady brand and that's his mentor. The Raiders owner was with Sanders taking pics at a Vegas game together.   It doesn't take much to connect the dots that Vegas will be interested in Sanders as their franchise QB. Oh yeah and guess who hasa small ownership stake in the Raiders Tom Brady.   I guess this is just another made up Madden idea by me huh?

      Bro I don't mind debating you, but did you really have to write all that to get your point across.   This isn't Madden. If you have the #1 pick you literally control your own destiny. If nobody wants to trade which I have a hard time believing they won't then you obviously take the best QB.   I think we will have suitors. If that's Madden then so be it.
