BOL Round Table

Who is idolizing? It is showing respect for a position or achievement.
Do you not call a judge " your honor" ?

Your logic is flawed and you clearly you have issues regarding personal respect.

I don't call judges anything because I'm not a lawyer and I avoid activities that would place me in a courtroom. However if I'm in a social situation with a judge, I'm calling him by his first name.

The fact that you're comparing a football coach with a judge says a lot though.

Hahaha.

I doubt anyone on here is old enough (me included) to remember Coach Wallace Wade but he started the tradition at Alabama and is just as important in our history as CPB and CNS. We've been lucky enough to have 3 of the greatest coaches of all time. Now to your question, I think CNS has to win 3 more to surpass CPB. Its impossible to compare anything else but championships. CPB was trying to win them in his time. That was his goal and he did whatever it took to win them. So, is CNS in his era. There are things that made it harder in CPB's time just like scholarship limitations does to CNS in this time. How about the dominance of the SEC now over what it was 40-50 years ago? You can lose a game now in the SEC and still get there but it was a lot harder to get the necessary recognition back then. How about the race thing? Every other conference had black players but Bryant had to win with white only players until the 70's. The only thing that matters is NC's, imo. Bryant has 6 and CNS has 4. When CNS wins 3 more you can put him over CPB. Period. And you should know that as Alabama fans. Championships are our goal. Nothing else matters.

Coach Bryant's success went beyond wins and losses. Some of the decisions Coach Bryant made helped integrate the University and change the perspective of people in the South. I didn't fully understand it until I had an opportunity to speak to some black athletes from the era. Things have changed drastically. Coach Saban benefits from the foundation created by Coach Bryant's legacy. I will always hold Coach Bryant is high esteem for risking a lot to integrate and provide opportunities for Black athletes at the University. A lot of people changed their mind about racial intolerance because Coach Bryant said it was okay to do so. That's just my opinion. It doesn't diminish what Coach Saban has accomplished and will accomplish for Alabama in the future. Coach Saban will end his career at Alabama as one of the greatest coaches in modern history. However, he doesn't have to deal with a lot of the things that plagued Alabama's public perception because Coach Bryant paid that cost for him.

Really? He left in 1930 to go to Duke. That would make you at least 90, right? If so, good for you and great to see you on BOL. I hope I can still hack a post out at that age or whatever it is we do then. Maybe tap our fingers using Google glass.

If we win it all this year he will have 4 out of 5 with the only 3peat in CFB history. He will be the best of all time IMO.

I already consider him to be a better coach than Coach Bryant was, and by a signiicant margin.

FYI - people used to have an issue with Ian Rapoport when he covered the team because he would call Nick, saying he was being disrespectful. The day Saban arrived we asked him if he'd rather be called Nick or Coach and he said either was fine.

Call him Mike? Now that would have been disrespectful.

Wake up drink some coffee and pound a oatmeal pie, oh wait he already does that.

Yep.

IMHO it would take Saban 1 more.. that would actually make 5 for him total.. but all that is neither here nor there because he is about to crush Pauls' 6 total in 22+yrs lol... i actually got Saban givin us 4+ more in th next 6yrs..BOOM
