No matter how much the collegiate game evolves, Nick Saban remains the needle.
Brian Kelly made it evident that Saban is the best by the comments he made on the Varsity House Podcast.
Kelly spent twelve seasons at Notre Dame from 2010 to 2021. He did everything he could do for the program, except deliver it a national championship for the first time since Lou Holtz. Kelly got close in 2012 (BCS era) and 2020 (CFP era), but Saban and Alabama prevented him from winning. He got the Fighting Irish to the College Football Playoff a few times, but Kelly was unable to push the program through tough competition.
