Anonymous coach accuses Saban of cheating

An unidentified coach accused Alabama's Nick Saban of cheating in a poll about the most overrated and underrated coaches in college football.

"If you had the No. 1 recruiting class in the country every year (you'd win like Nick Saban)," the anonymous coach said to CBS Sports, which polled 20 percent of the 129 active FBS head coaches. "He shows up at every single game with a better roster than the teams he's playing. ... If you count cheating and getting the best players in the country as part of running a program, he's the best in the country. It's like saying an NFL coach is the best coach in the league if he gets 25 first-round picks every year."

The remark, obviously, came from someone who pegged Saban - a six-time national champion - as the nation's most overrated coach.

Though many fans have questioned Saban's recruiting methods over the years, the 66-year-old has never had a run-in with the NCAA over any potential violations.

Florida State's Willie Taggart and Penn State's James Franklin were the two most common responses for the most overrated coach. Stanford's David Shaw and Washington's Chris Petersen were the two most frequent replies in the poll on underrated coaches.
