“the yellow brick road” to success as a head coach, that following Saban’s blueprint ensures a successful career. However, such is not always the case. Kirby is the “high flyer” of NS’s protégés, but there are a number who have not been successful:
Derek Dooley, Jeremy Pruitt, Will Muschamp, Mel Tucker, Geoff Collins, Brent Key, Billy Napier, Butch Jones, Pat Shurmur, Mike Locksley, etc.
Jimbo Fisher, Lane Kiffin, Jason Garret and Mario Cristobal have had mixed success.
It would seem that the measure of the man, himself, is more important than his having apprenticed under Nick Saban. Can you think of others?
GO DAWGS!! BEAT THE GATORS!!
