For more than a decade of Alabama Football seasons, Nick Saban has been the college football coach all other coaches most want to beat. That the task has a low percentage of success does not diminish the fervor.
Heading toward the 2023 season, more college football coaches than ever are optimistic about their chances to take down a Nick Saban, Alabama football team. Some of them are outspoken about it, maybe to the point of irritating many Alabama Crimson Tide fans.
Coaching college football certainly requires boldness. Often brashness accompanies bold claims. Pointing to winning against Alabama Football as a measurement of an opponent’s success is not new.
