If Nick Saban really wants a challenge how about he take over a program not rich like Bama and trying turning them around. What would he do if he was Mississippi State’s head coach? We will always wonder. Do you think he would have brought a natty or multiple nattys to Starkville?
Nick Saban challenge
- Thread starter StateJCP
- Start date
I’m not talking about now. I’m talking about what if he had taken over a program like MSU without a history like Bama. Could he have lead MSU to a natty and a dynasty like he has done with Bama is the question
If anyone of that quality wound up at a school like ours, they would be snatched up by a blue blood before they could be really successful. That’s how it works. You either lose him to a blue blood or you become a blue blood.
When is the last time someone became a blue blood? Clemson didn’t. I’m not sure it can even be done anymore.
I thought a few years ago he should have gone somewhere else so he could try to be the first HC to win a National Championship at three different schools.
Saban had already done that.
He took over an LSU program that had gone 4-7 and 3-8 the two previous years before he arrived in 2000.
I’m his first year they went 8-4, then 10-3 in 2001, 8-5 in 2002, then 13-1 and a National Title in 2003.
That was only LSU’s second national title and their first since 1958, so yeah, that program was effectively dead when he found it.

Also, Bama was pretty much dead when Saban got there. The three previous coaches before him went a combined 51-55, including a 10-23 record by his immediate predecessor Mike Shula
His first season at Bama he went 7-6 and won a bowl game, then rattled off this little number:
12-2
14-0
10-3
12-1
13-1
11-2
12-2
14-1
14-1
13-1
14-1
11-2
13-1
12-1
His SEC record after that first season is a ridiculous 102-12. Just incredible.
