I don't care who you are, Bear Bryant is the original legend.
Nick Saban is a great coach - clearly. That call for the onside kick early in the fourth was certainly HUGE. His players came up big in a lot of ways. Going to that big receiver O.J. Howard was great game planning. Saban is a great coach in big games.
That said, it is just asinine to try to compare the two generations of Bryant and Saban. There is nothing similar. Styles are different. Recruiting is different. The equipment is different. All of it is just different. In truth, no one can tell you how Saban would have managed things back in Bryant's day nor how Bryant would do today. And to try, as it seems all media is doing, is just stupid punditry.
Just say, Nick Saban is proving to be in that special class of coach like Legend Paul "Bear" Bryant.
Done.
