I didn’t think to look before, but this article points out something fantastic: in the most recent 8 years of Nick Saban’s college coaching career, he has won 4 national titles. When he plays, he bats .500. Not bad.
- 2003: LSU (First title)
- 2004: LSU
- 2007: Alabama
- 2008: Alabama
- 2009: Alabama (Second title)
- 2010: Alabama
- 2011: Alabama (Third title)
- 2012: Alabama (Fourth title)
The other fun stat: Saban has won 27% of all BCS National Championships (4 of 15).
The SEC, of course, has won 9 of 15, or 60%. (The Big XII has 2; the ACC, Big East, Big Ten, and Pac-12 all have 1 each on the field.)
