"Invariably, the subject turned to the best coach in the SEC right now, and Spurrier didn't hesitate."

Nick Saban.

"You're as good as your record, and his record speaks for itself," Steve Spurrier said.

There was a bit of a caveat, though, and it sent a ripple through the Crimson Tide Nation.

Spurrier said if Saban wanted to be known as the greatest coach of all time, he'd have to go somewhere besides Alabama and win.

Spurrier's rationale was that Alabama had a history of winning and that four other coaches before Saban had won national championships at Alabama.

For the record, Spurrier was just being Spurrier. He wasn't dissing Saban. He was simply speaking his mind.

The bigger question, though, as we near the start of the 2012 season -- Saban's 11th in the SEC as a head coach -- is where he stands among the greats who have coached the college game.

At the rate he's going, it's difficult to imagine that he will have few, if any, peers when he's done."

Now before the start of the 2015 college football season everyone is well aware that Alabama Nick Saban also coached and built a winning college football program at LSU, before leaving in 2005 to go coach the NFL Miami Dolphins.

Nick Saban LSU era (2000–2004)

2004 Sugar Bowl (BCS National Championship Game), LSU 21 - Oklahoma 14

• "2000 – In head coach Nick Saban's first season, LSU returned to national prominence by beating #11 Tennessee in overtime 38-31 on ESPN after which the goal posts were torn down for only the 2nd time in the history of Tiger Stadium. The victory over Tennessee also marked the first time that LSU played in an overtime game at home. Just a few weeks later, the goal posts were again ripped down as LSU beat Alabama 30-28 on CBS in Baton Rouge for the first time in 31 years. This was the 3rd and final time that the goal posts came down in Death Valley.

• 2001 – 2001 SEC Championship Game – #21 LSU staged an upset victory over #2 Tennessee, winning 31–20. The victory earned LSU a spot in its first Sugar Bowl since 1986, and knocked the Volunteers out of national title contention.
• --------
• 2002 – "The Bluegrass Miracle" – No. 16 LSU survived an upset bid from unranked Kentucky by winning the game 33–30 on a miraculous 75-yard Hail Mary pass as time expired. Kentucky coach Guy Morriss had gotten the traditional "Gatorade Bath" right before the Hail Mary. Kentucky fans, believing they had won, had already rushed the field and torn down one goal post.
• ---------
• 2003 – No. 11 LSU outlasted No. 7 Georgia, 17-10. With ESPN College Gameday on hand for the first time since 1997, Quarterback Matt Mauck found wide receiver Skyler Green for a 34-yard touchdown with 3:03 remaining in the game. All-American cornerback Corey Webster sealed the victory with an interception in the final minute. The game is notable for the LSU fans chanting LSU-LSU after a Georgia touchdown. Georgia head coach Mark Richt was quoted as saying, "Usually when the opposing team does well, the crowd quiets down. All I began to hear was a chant 'L-S-U, L-S-U.' It got louder and louder and louder. It was the loudest I've ever heard a stadium." The win catapulted LSU onto the national scene where they would go on to win the 2003 National Championship.
• ---------
• 2004 – 2004 Sugar Bowl (BCS National Championship Game) – LSU becomes the BCS national champion by defeating Oklahoma 21–14."

The best of the lot really doesn’t need any defense in the quality of their personality becoming the best at what they are doing because their history and the achievement from the work they do always speaks for itself.

After all how many ways can we praise with gratitude and appreciation the skills people achieve through their God given talent, hard work, luck, and ability.

What is better than success and Nick Saban has certainly been successful coaching college football at LSU and Alabama?
