"He learned under Saban"

[Notsince1985]

Let's put this myth to rest once and for all. Have some good coaches come from the "Saban tree?" Sure. But, I'm going to punch everyone in their collective faces if they keep saying that a plus for Mario is that he learned under Saban.


Bobby Williams coached at Michigan State for 5 years under Saban. He was 16-17, 6-15 in 2.5 years at Michigan State, being fired in his 3rd year, even with the players Saban left him.

Derek Dooley coached under Saban for 7 years. 5 at LSU and 2 with the Dolphins. He was 15-21, 4-19 at Tennessee before being fired.

Will Muschamp coached under Saban for 5 years. 4 at LSU and 1 with the Dolphins. He was 28-21 in 4 years at UF before being fired.

 

[Kevin Brown]

What did he learn?

 

[sebastian0]

How Lane Kiffin gets away with banging Saban's daughter

 

[Dynasty]

I would rather have Kiffin than Mario. No to both, btw.

 

[riceman]

How Mario keeps winding up on everyone's list is ******* astonishing. He was fired from ******* FIU. Not good enough for FIU, better hire him here!

 

[numbers]

I'd compare this "learned under Saban" stuff to "they coached under Belichick." How many successful head coaches have come from that tree?

Well said. Saban is one of a kind, I don't necessarily believe too much in coaching trees. It can help or hurt but ultimately every coach has their own style and that will be the determining factor

 

[Torocane]

It's such a lazy thing to say.
It means absolutely nothing in actual substance in evaluating a coaching candidate.

 

[L A M P]

I would rather have Muschamp than Cristobal.

 

[ball915]

The difference with Cristobal is that he was a head coach, was fired then learned under him. Smart on the other hand has never been a head coach which would coincide with your post.

 

[bobbydigius]

Also most Bama fans hope that we take Mario off their hands….

 

[TheUuuuu]

The only thing he learned was that their facilities are better than ours. Outside of that, I'd only welcome him back as an offensive line coach.

So we should go after Bobby Williams?
He's been with Saban the longest so he's learned at lot more and he has previous HC experience.

 

[timepiece]

i was happy f a g was fired but holy shet at some of the names being thrown around as possible HC.. depressing the life out of me

 

[canesd]

I would add Butch and Schiano to this list in terms of 'He learned under'. Not a bad group.

terrible man shot rt down bak to reality that um aint trynna win

Ok, I'll bite. Kevin Steele was a HC before coaching under Saban. He was bad. He was a good position coach. He "learned" under Saban. He never got another HC gig.
