Unreal. But nothing new, he's been doing this. And I'd take any of those men to lead us lol.

JJ had a much better staff..and took them to Dallas and won 2 SBs...and gift wrapped one to Switzer...

Mario was with Butch 1st...THAT'S where he learned what it takes...and he'd be the 1st to tell you that....

Hmmm

- Focusing on OL upgrade
- HUGE focus on OL
- Huge focus on OL
- Focusing on OL upgrade
- Made OL #1 priority in rebuilding team

Bama 2015 staff was a great one but Lane & Mario are not part of Saban coaching tree.

This.

In fact half the people in OP’s list aren’t part of Saban’s coaching tree. If anything, Saban’s coaching tree is garbage when you consider how much Alabama has won…there should be many more names in that list

Who does Saban really have…Kirby Smart? Big ******* deal. Compare that to Butch’s tree…or Jimmy Johnson. Not close.

You wonder why we were so dominant back in the day, just look at all the superstar coaches we had

 

[TemplarCane]

Mario coached for Butch, Schiano, and even Coker years before Saban.
Kiffin more from the Pete Carroll tree.

Not going to say both didn't learn from Saban, but Kirby is the branch from Saban. Napier started at Clemson.

 

[Baba Yaga]

Manny's coaching tree consists of Patke.

 

[Lazarre]

Jimmy Johnson and Bill Parcells have the best coaching trees in my eyes

 

[Handsome Squidbum]

Jimmy Johnson and Bill Parcells have the best coaching trees in my eyes

Mike Leach's coaching tree is surprisingly good as well

 

[miamimike305]

Manny’s coaching tree.
Someone add some names to it **** it.

It almost makes you want to not care anymore

It’s insane how incompetent Miami is when it comes to running its football program


I know I know, money is a factor. But Nick Saban is the Mr. Wonderful from Shark Tank always investing at advantageous prices while Miami is trying to invest via GoFundMe

 

[SWFLHurricane]

Manny's coaching tree consists of Patke.

That ain't a tree...that's a twig...

Tony Dungy

Herm Edwards​

Mike Tomlin​

Lovie Smith​

Jim Caldwell​

Lezlie Fraizer​

Ron Marinelli​

​

And Dungy would call himself a Chuck Noll / Bud Carson guy...

​

 

[Canedude08]

Jimmy Johnson and Bill Parcells have the best coaching trees in my eyes

Bill Walsh had a **** good tree.

Frankly, Bill Walsh's tree has more depth.

 

[TemplarCane]

And Walsh...

 

[SFbayCane]

Jimmy Johnson and Bill Parcells have the best coaching trees in my eyes

Bill Walsh and Hayden Fry should also be in the discussion.

Diaz not having a large coaching tree isn't that shocking. What is suprising is that despite Richt being a HC for around 2 decades, he only produced 4 HCs from his tree:

Mike Bobo
Neil Callaway
Brian VanGorder
Manny Diaz

3 flops and a Manny Diaz.

I don't know what that says about Richt other than he didn't seem to have a blueprint for success (at least not one that his assistants could follow).
