Saban & Bear are waaay too different in that the eras are too different to compare. Both are very similar in many ways. It is all about recruiting and adjusting to the game. So, no, I would not take Saban just yet - they are pretty much equal to me.

Now, I would take Namath every day of the week. In his prime, with healthy legs, he was the ultimate dual threat. He was JFF with a better arm - truly a phenomenal athlete.
