Both are great but Saban has allowed the Barn a NC during his reign and hope instead hopelessness. I know times are different and the Barners program was probably in better shape but the Bear buried their program. Now Saban has done that with the Viles whereas that was not the case with the Bear so maybe it balances out.

Yeah I guess I threw in some of the early 80's were UT beat bama 4 years in a row. That was after the Bear.

Got this from a Beano Cook article:
ESPN Classic - The third Saturday in October

"Bear Bryant had an overall winning record against Tennessee (16-7-2), but there was a stretch (1967-70) where he lost four straight years."
