You said the reason he was average at MSU was because the programs were so bad under the previous regimes. Is that not an excuse?

Nebraska coach Scott Frost takes subtle shot at Nick Saban...

I NEVER said he was average at MSU...he was far above average, just look at the records of their other coaches nearest his tenure...the ones he must be compared to.
So you are excusing his average racord because of the previous coach? Sounds like you are trying to polish a turd.
I really don’t see what SF said as any dig towards Saban, nor a lack of respect for what Saban has done. I think he was using it to back what he is building here.

How are some of you questioning the greatest of Saban? @BigRedAvenger I have to side with GFOA. 6 rings ‘nough said.
And sub .700 when he couldn’t oversign classes full of 5 stars.
He’s a great salesman and he knows how to push the rules for certain. No one can dispute that when at one of the most storied programs in the country, deep in the heart of the best recruiting grounds in the country, he knows how to work it.
Drop him into Iowa though, and he’s Kirk Ferentz. Maybe less.
His record was not anywhere near average for MSU. He did a very good job there, better than they'd seen since Duffy Dougherty.
And 5 National Championships since 2009. Loses coordinators it seems almost every year but never misses a beat. They are as close to a dynasty as I've seen in college sports since UCLA basketball back in the days. Guy can coach and recruit like no other. I am an Oz homer as much as the next guy but as much as I hate to say it Saban is the best ever.
You are making excuses for his mediocrity at MSU. Dantonio says that’s weak sauce.
I think you are the only guy on the planet that thinks Saban isn't one of the all time greats. There's one in every crowd...congrats, YOU are THAT GUY!
Scott Frost doesn’t seem so enamored either. Guess I’m in good company.
Scott didn't say anything negative about Saban...let me know when he does. You're pretty much an island on this subject.
