Again I ask, what coach has done more over their career than Satan? 4 titles between two schools is huge. Not to mention Satans record while coaching in the SEC. If Miles would have won in 2011 I would say there were neck-n-neck, but Satan got the crystal..
Granted it was a LONG time ago, so my recollection is not the greatest, but I don't remember the needle pointing up when Gerry DiNardo was fired. DiNardo did bring life to the program, but I remember it being back on the decline on his way out. It hadn't gotten back to pre-DiNardo levels, but I'd hardly say the program was on the way up.
The coaching was down when Dinardo was fired, mainly due to his DC. But the talent level was way up from the Curley days. Saban inherited a roster loaded with talent.
Gus Malzahn has a national championship as a coordinator, 2 SEC championships as a coordinator, and 1 SEC championship as a head coach, playing for a national title as a head coach. Saban wasn't shit until he coached at LSU for a few seasons. No Big 10 title, maybe a conference championship at Toledo but who gives a shit about that. Any decent head coach could succeed at Alabama. I mean the way alot of people on here about a chimp could win 10 games at LSU with the talent, Bama pumps much more money into their football program, so if it's true about LSU, I'm thinking a big chimp could win championships at Bama with the money they pump in and the talent they get from everywhere around the country.
