as for saban , kudos to him , he cleary outcoached meyer in this game

having the qb come out and throw early they clearly caught florida off guard
it was saban best game since returning from the pros

he learned to defend the spread this year , his team had no answer for it last year , both florida and utah rang 30 points on the tide defense last year , so again he definitly learned something cuse he couldn't stop it twice last year

to me saban is still the best recuriter around , when he was in the nfl he was an avg coach coaching avg players and he had an avg record , it's not like he took his team and improved it , he was smart eneough to see he is a much better college coach ---put him at alabama and he will have more talent in 9 or 10 games every year , thus he is simply going to win and win a lot
besides florida and lsu who on the tide;s schedule has more talent ?? i can't think of 1 team that has more players 1 - 52 can you??

he is at disadvantge going against mac brown in this game, the def coach on texas knows saban like a book as he was on the staff at lsu and the dolphins - bama is favored , they have the better defense , the better offense , better special teams , not the better qb .... bama shouldn't lose this game

LOL. The spread has been around for years now and yesterday wasnt the first time he faced it and shut it down. The difference between last year had very little to do with coaching and the difference this year has very little to do with coaching. Meyer is the same guy and so is Saban and neither of them gained or lost anything since last year. Alabama has a better team this year and Florida isnt quite as good. Its that simple. Alabama was up going into the fourth quarter last year but the difference in depth of talent made the difference in the fourth quarter. This year, the talent level has swung the other way. Bama finished it off going away.

You are hilarious with this coaching ****. It makes a difference, sure, but its more having to do with the program overall not in game x's and o's. At this level, when your team is 12-0 and this isnt your first time at the rodeo, you have proven you can x and o with anyone. If your team loses, its not because you got "outcoached" from a strategy standpoint. You lose because either your team is flat (highly possible because of the month layoff and the partying) or simply because the other team has a physical advantage of size,speed or skill.

If Bama loses it certainly won't be because Saban got outcoached because one of his old assistants is on the other side.
