The guy that will do best with Saban wants to do is not necessarily a great OC hire.
Hell, Nussmeier and McElwain were both successful under Saban. Both of them together at Florida have been a hot mess offensively.
McElwain was a great OC, that doesn't mean he will or won't be a great head coach. Nussmeier was a good OC. Not as good as McElwain, but he was a solid hire. Saban moved on because Saban's not going to accept diminishing returns for long.
Is Kiffin proof that Saban will hire one who best does want Saban wants to do?
Yep. Kiffin turned out to be a fantastic hire. Saban wanted a guy who would integrate a faster pace, and the results were pretty good.
