fightingsioux4life Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 the funny thing about the mack brown situaion is that before he arrive there that program was irrelevant(sp) for what 20-25 years. he made the program relevant,won a nat title and would have won a second if his qb didn't get hurt in the first quarter against bama in the nat title game. I'm pretty sure saban will be booted out at bama if they don't win another one inthe next five years. I don't think Saban will go anywhere anytime soon. They locked him up for the rest of his coaching career. I don't see him going to the NFL (the track record for college coaches at the next level is generally poor) and he has led the Tide to three national titles. That should buy him all the breathing space he needs to finish out his contract and retire on top of his game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saban isn't going anywhere and Texas would have never won that game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Not many because Blais had 2 NCAA titles (1997, 2000) and arguably saved the program from long-term ruin when he took it over in 1994. That buys you some serious breathing space. Plus, that was the first year of the new REA; and he had just come off the '01 season where he nearly won another NC with a team that wasn't even "supposed to be" in the championship game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That buys you some serious breathing space. That's not what I recall at all on this site. It was only a few years after the 2000 season that some posters here were saying that Dean had lost his tournament mo-jo, especially after the 2003-04 season ended in disappointment (even though it was a 30-8-3 season).

Well, I wasn't one of those and I was very down when Blais left for the Blue Jackets. When I saw the headline in the GF Heraldo that morning, I realized that an era (a GOLDEN era) in Sioux hockey was over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snake Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 They should have won that game. Kris effing Kolanos... The greatest late 3rd period 2-goal lead Jerry York ever blew (at least for him)! That ended quite a streak of "bridesmaid" finishes. They really should've canned him after the 2000 debacle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shep Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Saban isn't going anywhere and Texas would have never won that game. Exactly. My Mack Brown post compared Hak to him minus the critical point-Brown won a title, but also to demonstrate that elite programs are not just very good, they are elite. I believe Brown's down years (since the title) reflects a winning pct as good as Haks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe Brown's down years (since the title) reflects a winning pct as good as Haks. 18-17 in conference. One 5-7 year. Hak's numbers are in no way comparable to Mack Browns. Football winning percentage is not comparable to hockey. Stop grasping at straws to try and prove a point that doesn't exist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, I'm not answering on this one. Yea, OK, so on the 5, 10, and 15 year reunions of Michigan's 1998 title team, I get a 'thank-you' card in the mail signed by Marty Turco and Red Berenson.
