Only a true Cane homer could ever think that Butch is on Saban's level.
C'mon now. He's not even Miami's GOAT coach but yall wanna compare him to one of the GOAT college football coaches of all-time.
Like him or not, Saban is a god **** beast. Look at his coaching tree for christ sake.
Saban takes a bought and paid for 5* and just plugs him in to the next guy's spot. Butch took unranked kids or kids in totally different positions and made them beasts. I would take Butch 2000 over any Saban year. His coaching tree would be pretty **** impressive as well with more time.
Butch Davis coaching tree:
Chuck Pagano - Indianapolis Colts, head coach
Greg Schiano - Tampa Bay Bucs, head coach
Rob Chudzinski - Cleveland Browns, head coach
Mario Cristobal - Oregon Ducks, head coach
Curtis Johnson - Tuland, head coach
Randy Shannon - Miami Hurricanes, head coach
Larry Coker - Miami Hurricanes, head coach
And that's off the top of my head. Dude's coaching tree produced 3 NFL head coaches and 4 NCAA head coaches, just off the top of my head. That ****s all over Nick Sabag's coaching tree.
Who coached under Saban, Will Muschamp? lol.
