BB and Saban documentary on HBO. Watched it last night, it was ok, not really very insightful, but there's worse ways to kill 75 minutes.

It does amuse me that the show treats them as equals even though it seems like winning 6 Super Bowls is more significantly more impressive than winning 6 National Championships

Still amazing to me that they were both at Cleveland and got fired :lol:

Nick Saban left the Browns in 1994 to take the head coaching job at Michgian State. BB was fired as head coach of the Browns the following season.

Took over the 32nd ranked defense and turned it into the top defense within 4 years. That seems like solid work. The thing that struck me during that part of the documentary is how unlikely it would be for a HC and DC to stay together for four years these days, with or without success.

IIRC, they were decent until that last season...but that season coincided with Modell deciding to move the team, and shit just fell apart...there was a Football Life or something about it on the NFL Network a few years ago.

What doesn't add up? They were friends. When one became the other's boss, their friendship was strained a bit. They stopped working together. Now they're okay again.

In their last season together, didn't they beat Parcells in the playoffs?

I had to look, but, yes they did.

BB won 36 games in 5 seasons as the Browns head coach.

The Browns franchise has won 100 games since they came back into the league in 1999.

What percentage of the documentary was devoted to the art of secretly filming your opponents?
