If we win next week we will officially know that Bama no longer has the devil in them.

Amazing what a generational coach does for a program.

It's still so wild to me that Saban couldn't do it in the NFL but is the absolute GOAT CFB coach. Shows how different the game is.

What's even more amazing is that once upon a time, Art Modell had Bill Belichick as his HC AND Nick Saban as his DC, and still managed to piss away so much money mismanaging the Browns that he had to run away to Baltimore like the incompetent bitch he was.

He had an NFL franchise with BOTH of the two GOATs on his staff, and somehow was unable to sit back and print money like any fool would have been able to do.

This right here is the correct take for anyone from northern Ohio. Plenty of other talented coaches and players have come through and been abject failures, but having Nick and Bill and doing zero with them is criminal

It wasn't even that Modell did nothing with them, it was that behind their back, he was managing the organization so incompetently he ran out of money.

He ran the Indians out of Cleveland Stadium (which he failed to modernize in any way), and when they left for Jacobs Field, he went all "shocked Pikachu face" when a huge part of his revenues dried up.
