You really have no f vcking clue of anything that happened in CFB before 1990, do you? Yeah I guess beating the 1986 Miami Hurricanes(considered the most talented CFB team of all time)was sh!tty football.....

In a distantly related note, Meyer now owns the distinction of being the first coach to recruit Heisman winners for two other schools.

SOS did it clean, and changed the SEC into what it is today. Saban has underperformed lately in championship games, and has massive advantages even greater than Bryant did. Bryant reinvented himself and won three more championships including back to back.

Massive advantages over a guy coaching 40 and 50 years ago who consistently bent the rules while the NCAA turned a blind eye?

What are they?

BTW, looking at that pic of the Miami players showing up at the Fiesta Bowl in combat fatigues reminds me of the tragic story of Jerome Brown, who went on to become the NFL’s best interior defensive lineman only to have his life snuffed out at age 27 when he slammed his ZR1 Corvette into a pole about 35 miles north of here.

pretty much every rule in the NCAA rulebook is there because of Bear Bryant.

In Bryant’s era cheating was commonplace. Saban does things to an extent and degree that no one else does nowadays, or even could with a slight asterisk in the case of Clemson: Red Elephant Club, massive support staff, de facto control over the university administration, local government and police agencies, and even the SEC administration, 1 year tryouts, over signing / gray shirting / medical scholarships on a massive scale, and who knows what else they do because Saban has near total control of the press in the state. Everyone defers to him. Maybe Bryant had some of the same advantages but so did other coaches in his era. Saban is a law unto himself.

During the hey day of the Bear...they used to look out at the practice field while the 1st, 2nd and 3rd string were playing and say that the top 3 teams in the country were playing(paraphrasing).
