GREAT NEWS: Kirby Smart’s Postseason Record Highlights Nick Saban’s Unmatched Legacy as College Football’s Last Dynasty…
With Georgia’s recent postseason performance under head coach Kirby Smart, his record now stands at 8-5 in playoff and SEC Championship games. While impressive, it pales in comparison to the legendary career of Nick Saban, who finished his tenure at Alabama with an 18-6 postseason record, nine SEC titles, and six national championships.
Saban’s dominance over the past two decades established Alabama as college football’s last true dynasty, a reign unlikely to be replicated. His ability to sustain success in an era of constant change—where transfer portals and NIL deals now reshape rosters annually—solidifies his place as the greatest coach in modern college football history.
While Smart continues to build a powerhouse at Georgia, the gap between him and Saban remains significant. No coach in the foreseeable future appears poised to match the level of sustained excellence Alabama enjoyed under Saban. His departure from the sport leaves a void that may never be filled, reinforcing the belief that college football’s last dynasty ended with his retirement.
