With Nick $aban set to make 20x more than the president of Alabama, who is the most valuable coach in state history?

1. Steve Spurrier. Certainly!

2. Bobby Bowden. He turned a girls' school into a perennial powerhouse that not only lasted for decades but continued after he was fired...we mean, retired. 

3. Howard Schnellenberger. Miami was nothing when he got there and is now a major program, not to mention you could argue his decision to leave was just as influential to college football in this state as his decision to take the job in the first place. 

4. George O'Leary. Listen to all the Knights' football action right here on FM 96.9 The Game!
