There’s not many dynasties in college football more impressive than Saban’s tenure in Tuscaloosa. Prior to Saban’s arrival, since the turn of the new millennium, Alabama averaged six and a half wins per season from 2000-2006.

After Saban’s arrival in Tuscaloosa, the Crimson Tide have averaged eleven wins per season, while winning three National Championships over Texas, LSU, and Notre Dame.

When you closely look at the numbers, it’s truly remarkable what Saban has done in Tuscaloosa. He won three National Championships over a four-year span, and since taking over in 2007, he’s brought in the nation’s top recruiting class six times. Saban will go down as one of, if not, the best in college football history when he calls it quits.

His critics say that doing all this at Alabama takes away from his accomplishments, as Alabama has a very deep history of college football dominance. His critics also say that he and his staff are recruiting illegally because selling National Championships and a pipeline to the NFL is too outrageous to belief. The same is said about Kentucky basketball, and neither schools have had many allegations that I can think of.

Saban is number one. There is no doubt. His combination of preparing athletes for the NFL, recruiting at the highest level in college football, and his ability to dominate college football by winning multiple National titles is second to none.

Saban is the best coach in the SEC, and he’s also the best coach in the nation.

As you probably guessed, Nick Saban is the number coach in the SEC.

Saban rules the SEC. He does. There’s no other way to describe it. His teams dominate on the field, and his staff dominates on the recruiting trail, as the Tide have earned the nation’s top recruiting class four out of the last five years, per rivals.com.
