Point is, Saban was 7-6 at Alabama.
I forgot if:
1. Saban was a proven HC before he arrived at Bama.
2. Saban won a NC before he arrived at Bama.
3. Saban was responsible for coaching the D before he arrived at Bama.
4. Saban recruited and knew the players before he arrived at Bama.
5. Saban was one of the best HCs in college and not part of the prior failing regime.
Saban, before he got to Bama, earned the benefit of the doubt. This benefit of the doubt is the result of actual proven success. Saban earned the right to have a “sub-par” performance. Anyone who compares them to Manny simply because of “sub-par” initial results doesn’t understand how there is no correlation with Manny and Saban.
