In the minds of many Alabama football fans, Nick Saban is already the greatest college football coach of all-time. There is some generational divide among older Crimson Tide fans, favoring Paul ‘Bear’ Bryant as the greatest. Such a family dispute is a byproduct of doubtlessly having a program with the two college football ‘Goats.’
For decades, SEC football historians have believed a Bryant record would never be broken. That record is 159 SEC victories. Nick Saban has 125 SEC coaching victories. It would take Nick another five seasons (four seasons is mathematically possible, with SEC Championships included.)
The next SEC wins milestone for Saban could come in Baton Rouge next November.
