Bama - the coaching tree that ain’t

[tabrams]

Yea sure. Saban is the best college football coach ever.... and yeah sure... he’s produced a few great coaches through his tree...(Dantoni, Kirby, etc.)

But most of his coaches are not good when they try to become head coaches or coordinators.
A few duds come to mind.....
Sunseri
Dooley
Pruitt
Muschump

Bc Saban is the best of the best, people assume his staff can somehow use some sort of magic
Fairy dust and be the same!!!!!

But his staff is 0-24 vs Saban as head coaches lol... So all I’m saying is please never again. I know Fulmer left a weed for a coaching tree it’s so small!!

But no More bammers pls!! There is only one Dark Lord Saban and nobody else can copy him
Either....

I hope we never hire another stupid Saban assistant gump.

 

[VOL-TIL-I-DIE]

Agree; a lot of programs including ours chase a Saban assistant in hopes they can capture lightning in bottle.

Smart just lucked into a good situation at Georgia.

Pete Carroll is the real coaching tree.

All that talent makes coaches look better than they are IMO

 

[wmcovol]

He’s due to hit on one. Freaking gay-ass Texas will probably hit.

No doubt.

The Bama coaching tree is like those oaks in Auburn after Harvey Updyke got ahold of them...

And he’s an alum. That didn’t hurt

If we’re talking coaching trees Sark would definitely be in the Pete Carroll tree. CSS rehabbed with Saban.... among other places

Question: what current head coach has the most successful coaching tree?

 

[BeecherVol]

Saban is the perfect storm.
- recruits as well or better than anyone else
- develops that talent and gets it to the NFL with many in early rounds
- wins at a level that no one else does which is a byproduct

Xs and Os matter but I think the trait that gets overlooked is his ability to manage all that with the focus on the details.

He has created a machine that endures all the changes.

I would give that to Pete Carroll. He became a HC under his tutelage.

 

[VaBornVol]

The only thing Saban’s assistants seem to pick up is that snarky, entitled attitude

Jimbo Fisher may be the best Saban pupil currently coaching

Sometimes I think hiring an assistant from Bama isn’t just because they think they might be good, but also because it’s taking away from them plus they might learn some of their secrets. I think this might be why Pruitt was hired honestly. That and because at the time we weren’t left with many choices in that coach searching debacle

(As I throw up in my mouth a little) At this point I would take Kiffin back.

 

[Jax_Vol]

The Alabama family tree does not fork

He's not cut from Saban's cloth. Rather, Pete Carroll

We're not talking football anymore, are we?

 

[Volnbeers]
