M-Borg vs. THE Flavortown U Thread, Orig. by Buckeye Paul, absconded w/by talent.

There's only two coaches I'd categorize as elite: Nick Saban and Brady Hoke.
I maintain that any coach who knows what he's doing, could have taken Bama to the MNC last season. I consider the team of Coach Hoke and Mattison to be in that group. Les Miles beat the so-called "National Champions" last year, on their own field. I think Urban Meyer could have coached Bama to the MNC. Take any coach from a Top Ten team, and put them at the helm of what Bama had last season, and they probably do the same thing.
Again, I just don't see what it is that Nick Saban does, that is so much different from other good coaches. He doesn't run an offense that can't be figured out. He doesn't run an impenetrable defense. (LSU proved that) His teams still make mistakes.
The only thing that set him apart this year was the talent on his team picked the right day on the calendar to put it all together to defeat a team that beat them earlier in the season.
Why does this make him so much better than everyone else?"The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, .. I'd worn them for weeks, and they needed the air"

Sure liney, Saban is just another guy.
What I've been saying all along is, I don't see what it is about Saban that puts him on some huge pedestal, other than the fact that he can sign top talent. And, I'm not even convinced that he's a master recruiter. I think Alabama recruits itself. That's a big advantage. Right now, the SEC recruits itself. That's another advantage. Neither of those things has anything to do with Nick Saban.
Once again, I don't see anything about his offense, defense, special teams, or anything else, that sets him apart from every other football coach in the country. I believe there are other coaches who could have gotten the same results with the 2011 Alabama team.

Other than Gene Stallings, Alabama turned over coaches like crazy between the Bear and Saban. So I don't think one merely needs to show up at work and count on an automatic 10 wins.
The SEC recruits itself? If so that's largely due to Nick Saban. He won the SEC's first title of the decade at LSU. And has won two more at Bama. If you seriously think there are dozens of coaches who could've done the same, you're high as a kite

I think that's one of the things that sets Saban apart from other coaches. he doesn't need to resort to "gimmick" offenses while putting solid defenses on the field that don't need to resort to risky blitz packages. his teams play solid solid fundumental football.
