Nick Saban didn't win a national championship

[Rasputin_Vol]

At Alabama until Sal Sunseri got there. Just sayin...

I agree that Sunseri is the man, but Don't think you can credit him for the NC's.. he definitely helped though... and I think he will help us win one soon

Within a few years we will have a top 10 defense with him at the helm and the offense will keep kickin in high gear.

This year I think our defense will be good enough to give us a shot at the east.

Who the fluff is nick saban?

 

[rheaco1123]

Sounds legit

 

[StoVol]

Na, it was mainly because they had great players and the fact they got a second crack at a team after failing to win their own division or conference

Hey Bartender, I think you need to shut the bar down

 

[terrypedigo]

I guess all those first round draft picks went to Bama because sal was there instead of Nick.

 

[VolsByNature]

People!! He was just sayin..

Sunseri was basically the co-coordinator at Bama. The front seven for Alabama caused several turnovers and made crucial stops because they were put in the right position. Go back and watch Bana's first title and notice how the front seven were rarely out of position. And that was Sunseri's first season.

Please. That's Nick Saban's defense and everyone knows it. Stop kidding yourself.

I don't understand the Sunseri love. As a LB coach/recruiter, oh yeah, it's a great hire. Hiring a guy who hasn't coordinated a defense since 1999 in a huge, huge year? Eh....

 

[zjcvols]

Not saying Saban isn't a great defensive mind just saying Sunseri is as well. And having two minds like that produces championships.

That's why he'll be coordinating a defense for the first time this century.

Great, now the Bama losers will surface. Appreciate it. Only thing worse is one of these weak Ky trolls that clog the BB forum.

Saban could not win a NC north of the Mason- Dixon line, his record was mediocre at best. :yes:

Don't forget the ever present Gator trolls.

Trent Richardson and Mark Ingram helped a little lol

minimal impact IMO.

Sal coached DL and LBs.

Sunseri only coached linebackers. Bo Davis coached the DL in '09 and '10, and Chris Rumph coached DL in '11.

And Kirby Smart is also a linebackers coach. He and Sunseri split that duty.

No, we are talking about Nick Saban and Alabama. I think he went the other route.

So...the one at LSU didn't count?

Only because Dooley was there

I can't find a good reason not to thoroughly enjoy this.

GO VOLS!!

If Sal was that instrumental at Bamma's success , they would not have let him get away.

 

[GmanTN]

I guess the OP is unaware that it does not matter who Saban loses as coaches because he is the X and O man and he is the driving force.

 

[JOEY'S ALL VOL !!!]

Well, that settles it, fire Dooley and promote Sunseri.

 

[TnTech_Vol]

Nick Saban's new $6M paycheck says different.

I'm excited about CSS and CDD are doing and ready for season to start but this post is a stretch.

We'll know after the 3rd Saturday in October...

I wouldn't use that as a benchmark.

I think Sunseri is a good coach. He might even be a great coach. But he could be the second coming of Vince Lombardi, and Tennessee is still likely to lose by 3 TDs.
