An interesting thought experiment ...

There was an old saying back in the 70s that Bear Bryant could take his team and beat yours, then he could coach your team and beat his. I could see where that could apply to Saban.

Came in here to post this very thing - they always said Bear would beat you with his guys, then tomorrow he'd beat you with your guys. Same deal now, I suspect.

This.
Kinda like what Gruden did with Tampa Bay?

Halfway through the game, Jalen Hurts would deliberately nail jones on the side of the head with the football, rendering him out with a concussion. After he's carted off the field, the players from both sides would breathe a sigh of a relief.

I just wonder how we would play if we locked Butch in the booth.

Two weeks for Jones to prepare. So he'd definitely be on the losing side.

Given 2 weeks of coaching by CBJ, the bama players would probably be reduced to 2 and 3 star players. hmy:Saban wins.

What if John Lennon had never met Yoko Ono?

What if guards had been posted outside Lincoln's box at Ford Theater?

What if Dale Earnhardt had not modified his own safety harness?

What if the guy with the jar of peanut butter and the guy with the chocolate bar had been more aware of where they were going?

Butch couldn't build a program like Saban has. No chance Bama would be good. If Saban coached UT we would be #1 and Bama would be looking to hire a new coach.
