Nick Saban has proven he can win national championships at Alabama with any type of quarterback.
Fans of the Crimson Tide enjoyed the “game managers” in Greg McElroy and AJ McCarron, the deep ball of Jacob Coker, and the heroics of Tua Tagovailoa off the bench. He came close to pulling out a national title ring with a converted running back, wide receiver and defensive back in Blake Sims under center and if not for an impressive final drive by Deshaun Watson of Clemson, Saban would have won a national title with a true freshman starter in Jalen Hurts.
