Osborne took over a team that was pretty freshly removed from back to back titles.

Alabama was nearly 2 decades away from their last championship when Saban won one for them. It's a true testament to Sabans greatness, he dominated on a level so unseen that you have forgotten they were ever not good, when they were in fact painfully average.
He’s the greatest recruiter of all time perhaps but not the greatest coach. Do you think he could have gone 11-2 at SCAR like Spurrier did three times in the 2010’s?

If your point rests on a "coulda woulda shoulda" hypothetical, you have no point at all.

I'm living in reality, where Saban won 7 national championships and Spurrier won ... 1

My point from the beginning is Nick Saban’s success was 100% predicated on the SEC’s lower academic standards and Laissez-faire attitude towards pay for play.

Let's be serious here.

LSU was 3-8 the year before Saban.

Alabama was 6-7 before he took over, viewed very similarly to Nebraska in that they were a sleeping giant.
and what were their records the year before? he had a solid foundation in a hotbed of recruits and unlimited bag money. he bought everyone of their wins

Saban couldn't do what Obsorne did in Lincoln.

Osborne could've done what Saban did in Tuscaloosa.

The rest is just mouthqueefs from the fringe.

"Allowed."

I've done nothing but provide arguments based on critical thinking.

And for that I was called stupid, drunk, and told my wife has a boyfriend. From a so-called Husker fan. For defending Osborne over Saban. On a Husker board.

My advice to you: Get yourself together and unhitch your wagon from this turd.

Or don't. Peace.

Every coach between Bryant and Saban was able to win 10 games in a season at some point in their tenure.
Did Mike Shula? OH, I know of one coach who did not win 10 games at Bama, Mike Price. The stripper or prostitute ended his stint before it got going. I always thought that was a very strange hire and thought it would never work. Obviously, Mike did too. That's why he went out with a bang. After the scandal I was talking to a friend of mine who was very well connected to WSU sports. He got all his information from an old college friend who had previously been an assistant coach for WSU and stayed on in the athletic department. He told me that when Price was in Pullman things like what happened in Alabama occurred all the time. The athletic department was able to keep these stories quiet.
