Compared to one of the most storied programs in college football.
Shows just what an anomaly he was.

That's wild.
He's definitely the GOAT.

That's, far and away, the most impressive stat I've ever seen regarding an individual football accomplishment, regardless of ANY school affiliation!.....DAMN!...it's Oklahoma!!!

Saban is the GOAT and it ain't even close.

He won 5 at Bama (last one being 2017) and 1 at LSU. Still very impressive, just not sure where they got 7 from.

Losing that SEC CG to Florida in 2008 and then reeling off 8 or whatever in a row...

That is impressive but it could be a lot more tilted in Saban's favor because Saban was that dominant. Miracles and big comebacks by Auburn temporarily cured Bama fatigue for a couple seasons. Ohio State and Oklahoma did us a solid as well.


Everyone mentioned take a bow.

Here to add, OU is only one of the most storied programs in college football because they cheated in recruiting for decades, especially during the 70s and 80s. Once the fields started leveling out, they began to regress. There is little talent in Oklahoma high schools. Trust me, I live here.

Six of those seasons were with Toledo and Michigan State. If you look at 22 seasons between LSU and Bama, I believe he won half of the possible SEC titles he could possibly win. 9 with Bama and 2 in 5 seasons at LSU.

That is literally unbelievable. May the GOAT enjoy
his retirement from the sideline and a long life.

And some people question why LSU fans were so salty to lose him.

I don’t need comparisons. He coached Alabama for 17 seasons. 2008 and 2010 were probably the only seasons he didn’t at least fall in the hunt for the title. He won 6 titles (plus 1 at LSU) and appeared in the NC game and playoffs how many other times? We will never see a run like that. Hell, his last year was a tight game against the eventual champion. Most coaches last years are barely above .500.

The right guy in the right place at the right time. All the planets lined up and produced the most dominant, sustained run of CFB greatness we'll probably ever see.

I remember reading about John wooden & Bear bryant as a kid, Saban and maybe Coach K are about the only coaches on their insanely high level in my lifetime.
