    "The below table is in alphabetical order by school". Saban is rated a 0--which means untouchable
    Overrated -- Nick Saban at Alabama: "Nick's got a lot of advantages. In [my conference], you could take five or six of us and get there a month before the season and win 12 games. There is a little f---ing machine underneath that stadium, and they grow them there."
    Overrated -- Nick Saban at Alabama: "We're going to have a war. You're going to have a howitzer, and I have a musket, and then every time we'll say that you're brilliant."

    Underrated -- Chris Petersen at Washington: "He's not at Alabama, USC, Ohio State or Texas, but everywhere he goes, he makes an immediate impact. He does stand out to me wherever he's gone. The longer you coach, some of the best coaches we ever coach against people don't write about. Who's to say these guys aren't the very best?"
    I mean, these quotes aren't wrong--but who built the "howitzer" or "machine", as those coaches put it, at Bama? Saban doesn't get credit for that? 75% of success in cfball is built from February-July. Saban isn't the best Xs and Os guy, but he kicks everyone's ass at the behind the scenes stuff.

    Bama sucked for years before Saban got there.

    Case closed.
