Every organization should have a 'Continuous Improvement Program'.

- Roll Tide -

Coach 'Bear' Bryant's great grandson, (Paul Tyson) has signed a letter of intent to join the Tide in December when he graduates from HS. He's a 6'2", 215 pound quarterback, a pretty good one they say (4 star).

Saban & Tyson

Camaros? Mustangs?

[karnage]

A remarkable program. Amazing coach.

[Red Badger]

Dang! Saban is sorta short!.............

[RatRipper]

A remarkable program. Amazing coach.

I agree, and I'm an Auburn fan. I'm not one of the "mutual hate" crowd. I assure you, around this state there is plenty of mutual respect, too. In its proper place and perspective, a great rivalry is both fun and satisfying. Football season is usually interesting in Alabama.

"Dang! Saban is sorta short!............."

My mistake....Tyson is 6'4".

[dfwgator]

As a Gator, I have the highest admiration for Saban.

If I had a kid who played football, I’d want him to play for Saban.

Nick Satan................ :>)

Lightening might strike me down for criticizing Nick Saban, but one aspect of the program that bugs me is how they stack up highly rated QBs. Not only have they received commitments from Bear Bryant's grandson, but also from former Bama QB Jay Barker's son and the younger brother of Tua Tagovailoa. And I think all those commitments are for next year's recruitment class.

There is a long list of highly regarded QBs who came to Bama during the past decade and never got enough playing time to learn whether they could be a major college QB,or not. A good number eventually transfered and tried it elsewhere, but most never established themselves elsewhere after spending two to four years in Tuscaloosa.

Having said that, Roll Tide and make it six of the last ten next year.

Coach Saban has won 5 NCAA championships over 9 years for Alabama football. Coach Wooden won 10 in 12 years with 7 straight for UCLA basketball. Coach Gable won 9 straight (’78-86) for Iowa Wrestling, 15 in 24 years for his career there. The 9 straight NCAA championships was also done by Yale in Golf (1915-13) and USC in Track (1935-43). Women also can have dynasties. UNC Women’s soccer won 9 straight NCAA championships. UConn Women’s basketball won 4 straight. Unless one makes the quantitative argument that, next to football, there are no other ‘major’ sports, Coach Saban’s achievements, although certainly laudable, are neither unique nor the most dominating in sports history. More credit will be due to Saban and the Tide for however long they can maintain at least this much domination with a clean (and I’ve heard nothing to suggest otherwise) program.

[Gamecock]

I admire the heck out of what he does down there. The man is a masterful coach.

That being said, Go Cocks!

[nikos1121]

Hahahaha! I thought I had it formatted also.

[nikos1121]

I wasn't about to put

History, lots of money and great area for recruiting, Florida, Georgia and Alabama.
