Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.
But how is Saban the GOAT?

SEC championship
The semi-final game
Final
You figure they only have two games left in LSU and Auburn for the regular season who both suck on offense. They have to play Georgia twice in the SEC & playoff title games and they will roast tOSU in the first round.
He's got nothing left to accomplish
Go back to where you failed Nick, coach the Canes back to their rightful place in the natural order, get USC's respect, and then retire perfect.
A lot of guys who are great in the NFL would fail in college and vice versa.
Completely different challenges.
You don't see 100k fans in an NFL stadium ever. Arguably more pressure in the college game with boosters and alumni fanbase. The grind of recruiting 2022 kids when it's still 2018.
NFL essentially eliminates the Jimmy's/Jos discrepancy in college and requires more X's and Os, so there's that aspect to it.
They all make about the same.
Saban can't leave any wiggle room for Urban to steal GOAT status if he leaves. That's more important to his legacy than getting the dolphins to a conference championship game.
He's going full Thanos. Somebody's gotta step up.
And quit laffing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why there and not the U?
Both programs have rich histories.
Both have won titles in the color TV era.
Both have access to insane talent bases.
Both recruit at a high level when they're up and when they're down.
Both have littered the NFL with impact players for years, the U arguably doing it better the last few years.
Both have big brand recognition and cult followings.
Draw the meaningful distinction between these programs for me. Because I've always considered USC to be the closest analog to Miami. Their academic histories are even similar. Both were private school destinations for wealthy kids who couldn't get into more elite schools and both have become much harder to get into, though SC plays that game better by making Fall admits insanely selective and admitting the other 1/3 of the class second semester and transfer (SC is a huge transfer school) so as their lower stats don't get counted in their profile.
list goes on.
SC's rented stadium is much closer to campus and a national historic landmark.
Not saying you shouldn't be able to win NT's at Miama so don't twist. They have more than anyone not named Alabama since college football was invented in 1983.
The right coach at Miami does as much or moar damage as the right coach at SC. Cook it!!!!!!
The number of guysm taking names in the NFL from one fucking neighborhood in their city is staggering enuff to have started a TV Show.
And there are key pockets of the mid-Atlantic where they've pulled historically, and they've been able to recruit pretty consistently in Texas, GA and Louisiana. I know SC can recruit, but it's hard (hard) to argue that's a variable in their favor over the Canes.
The only people who really care about stadiums are losers that have on-campus stadiums. hTh.
Miami and SC have moar in common, staring with who they are physically: mid-size to large private universities in very urban locations that compete with big beach and night life for attention. This ACC shit is a small part of the history. Miami has more titles. FSU has been less up and down, but that's about it.
