Nick Saban gave bloggers exactly what they were looking for on College GameDay.
Next: 10 Games That Would Make College Football Exponentially Better
Nick Saban took a little time out from his pre-game preparation on Saturday morning to swing by the College GameDay set outside of Bryant-Denny Stadium. After discussing real football topics (how Saban thrives in revenge games, his team’s mentality heading into the game, etc.) Reese Davis dropped a monster hypothetical on Saban: Who would he want in his corner if a fight broke out at the annual coaches meeting?
As if Lord Saban could read everyone’s minds, the general gave the people what they wanted and claimed, “Urban Meyer.” Not from a fighting standpoint, but because, according to Saban, Meyer is the best coach in the game.
Talk about a clickgasm.
Basically, what Saban is saying is that he wants to recreate the CFB equivalent of the Mega Powers at a coaches meeting. So the question is: Who’s Hogan and who is Macho Man?
Saban is probably Hogan. His teams win with brute strength, and while there is a little change over the years, the formula generally looks the same. They keep coming and coming and eventually bludgeon opponents into submission.
This leaves Meyer as Randy Savage. One of the greatest in-ring psychologists in wrestling history Savage makes a perfect doppelgänger to Urb considering the latter’s effective use of motivational tactics. Also, Savage could win with finesse, but he could also overpower people. Another perfect fit for a coach who easily alters his style based on personnel.
So now … who is Miss Elizabeth?
