Скачать или смотреть How Good was Alabama with Nick Saban Actually?

He definitely wasn’t adopting a thriving program at the time, just coming off of a 6-7 season Led by Mike Shula, and to make this coaching change even more interesting, it isn’t like Nick Saban was seeing much success as a coach in recent years, at least as an NFL coach… but we’ll talk about that soon, because before the NFL, Saban had turned around a struggling Michigan St team leading them to multiple bowl games and a notable 9-2 record in 1999.

He would later accept the coaching job at LSU the following year leading them to a bowl game appearance every year and a national championship title in 2003, After proving himself as a success college coach he decided to take a leap into the NFL, being named the head coach for the Miami Dolphins in 2005.

Simply put, he struggled to see the same success that he had in college so after going 15-17 in his 2 seasons with Miami he decided to take a step back down to the collegiate level.

He would be tasked to revitalize a dying program that had 4 losing seasons from 1997-2006.

Things didn’t take off right away for Saban. Alabama ended the regular season with a 6–6 record

In 2008 Alabama would finish 12-2 the most wins in program history since 1994. and it got even better, as Saban lead his team to an undefeated 14-0 season and National Championship in 2009 with a victory over Texas.

This would be followed with another 10 win season, and after that…

Arguably the most successful and dominant college program we have ever scene…
