Nick Saban reminds me alot of BB in terms of coaching style. I have noticed a trend since 2010, when Alabama wins the national championship, NE does not win the super bowl but when NE wins the super bowl, Alabama does not win the national championship.
2011: NE loses in super bowl, Alabama wins the natty
2012: NE loses to ravens in AFCCG, Alabama wins the natty
2013: Seahawks win the super bowl, FSU wins the natty
2014: NE wins super bowl, Alabama loses in the CFB playoff
2015: NE loses to den in AFCCG, Alabama wins the natty
2016: NE wins super bowl, Alabama loses in the NCG
2017: NE loses super bowl, Alabama wins the natty
2018: NE wins super bowl, Alabama blown out in NCG.
7 out of the last 8 years this has been the case.
