Losing to Michigan would make it a moot point though.
Could also be that Saban is the GOAT (as much as it pains me to say) and has the ability to get nearly everyone's number before the game. Somehow the man has gone through staff like crazy over the years and still has the ability to reload and continue pulling in 4 and 5 star talent that brings the heat each and every game.
There have been a lot of college greats over the years, but I don't think anyone will ever be able to top what the man has done for the game. And I do pity the person that replaces him when he finally decides to hang up his hat. The expectations are going to be off the chart.
He probably sacrifices puppies to keep at that level too. Just sayin...
Experience is a cruel teacher, gives the exam first and then the lesson.
