Saban's wife has been with him longer than Cristobal.
Maybe we should hire her if being in proximity enables one to absorb experience and knowledge to become a good head coach.
We can do a lot better than Cristobal but let's not sit here and act like coaching trees are meaningless in football. Look at the Bill Parcells coaching tree (Bill Belichick, Tom Voughlin, Sean Payton) and the Bill Walsh coaching tree (Mike Holmgren, Andy Reid, Mike McCarthy). It's widely known that some of the best current coaches have spent time under the best former coaches.
With that being said Saban has a few coaches like Muschamp who were absolutely terrible but then a few coaches like Jimbo and Mark D'Antonio, who everyone here loves, that have been successful. It'll be hit or miss but I think Cristobal would be a desperate move.
