Just got off the phone with Finebaum who was discussing Saban vs Bryant as the GOAT ( neither is anywhere near the GOAT)
I explained to him that just within the SEC alone the greatness ranking would be :
1) Bob Neyland
2) Nick Saban
3) Bear Bryant
Based on :
Career WP : Neyland (.829), Saban .(791), Bryant (.780)
SEC WP : Neyland (.827), Saban (.820), Bryant (.764)
Career N/C WP : Neyland (.831), Saban (.819), Bryant (.797)
Plus, Bear Bryant was 0-7 vs Neyland, head- to- head inspiring him to Say : " Everyone thought Neyland had a jinx on us. It was no jinx. He was a better coach....People think I'm the greatest damn coach in the world but Neyland taught me everything I know"
...and among all CF coaches , all time, all levels based on winning %
Neyland -21st most difficult to beat
Saban - 47th most difficult to beat
Bryant - 56th most difficult to beat
Finebaum thanked me and said "now you're talking" then added some Neyland superlatives of his own.
