Dumb comment.

Since 2000: Titles: 2000, ’09, ’23 Championship appearances: ’09, ’17, ’23 World Series appearances: 2000, ’03, ’04, ’08, ’09, ’13, ’15, ’17, ’23 Who's done more in this century?

We must be running out of sponsors.

It's amazing that someone in Finebaum's position would have no idea who the NCAA actually is and where the billions to pay off the House lawsuit will come form.

Too much money involved to make those changes.

Hate to see the skank who married luvaride.

"sustained success"? Hardly. UF just fired a coach for being "mediocre" and hired one that is less than .500 in the conference. Mid would be a generous description.

Once saw a ROI on what Saban meant to the University, the state, and Tuscaloosa. He was severely underpaid.

"Alabama fans don't make excuses". Perhaps the former coach does. We're playing with some guys who didn't have a lot of experience, and it eventually got us in the fourth quarter," Saban told the Alabama Football Coaches Association in January. "And we had the kind of team where we had a really good quarterback, and we wanted to have skill guys that they couldn't guard, so we had two, (Metchie and Williams), that were really, really good, and they both got hurt."

He doesn't have to be considered the GOAT. It's really a subjective title that really is impossible to quantify. Coach Bryant was considered the GOAT. Vince Lomardi was considered the GOAT. Babe Ruth. The list goes on. Different eras make comparisons impossible. Would Coach Saban have accomplished his feats in a NIL/Transfer Portal era? Maybe, maybe not.

I suppose a coach, like anyone else can donate to a collective. Why not?

It's funny to me that the people who always make that comparison fail to see the difference in the ROI to a school for a long term successful coach vs that of a short term player. It's fine to argue that players should receive compensation for their NIL. I get that. But, balancing it against a coach is like comparing apples and oranges.

An engineer is going to let a bean counter tell him how to build a bridge about as often as a Surgeon is going to let one tell him how to perform a heart transplant.

I was told earlier this year in the strongest terms that UF had an elite baseball program. So, don’t doubt them.

UF has an elite basketball program!

Kelee is still running.

Finebaum fans are mostly Bama fans. You must be the exception.

It will interesting to see if Coach Saban ever calls for a coach's head. I doubt it. It's a fraternity and I think he still feels a part of it.

Of course Kessler wants to settle. Get his multi million dollar cut and move on. Lawyers....

That's high cotton for sure.

"It’s early, but not that early." I think maybe it is.

So you're going to stand by your comment that the TP was the thing that hurt Coach Napier the most? Despite Nash and St Louie's evidence that the players that left were not very good. That's all I'm asking.

And BTW, I didn’t try to compare the two coaches. One is obviously light years ahead of the other.

Being rude because you can’t justify your comment?

Certainly add Tim Tebow to the above list of great College QBs.

I'll take the field...

Not screw up. And therein lies the rub.

Seems so. I would take any of those on my team any day.

In his defense, he's never had a QB that was worth a diddle. But, he does take plays off and appears uninterested a lot of the time.

That's a little too simple and depends on how you define "great". Both have had great College QBs. It just doesn't mean they will be great NFL QBs. It's a totally different scenario at the next level. IMO, Aaron Murray, Jake Fromm, and Stetson Bennett were great college QBs, as were Jake Coker, Blake Sims, Greg McElroy, and AJ McCarron.
