Saban has been in the SEC for basically half as long as Fulmer's tenure in the league and has been a part of a much tougher SEC than what Fulmer enjoyed from 93-99. Saban makes his program... He is the program. He replaces assistants with just as good if not better assistants. The jury is not still out on Saban.
All I know is he couldn't get it done this year with arguably the best talent he's ever had, but for sure the best talent in the nation. He's never been at one program longer than 5 years. Next year will be his 5th at Bama. I'm not sure he'll stick around for a 6th or 7th year, but we'll see. So IMO the jury is still out on him sticking with one program and keeping it dominant year after year.
