re: Why do Nick Saban asst coaches make terrible Head Coaches?

Well, this is how I see it. Saban was a very good HC at Michigan State, he was a better HC at LSU. He then went to Miami and was ok(different game). I think he is the best CFB coach of all time. He sacrifices for that honor. As the "head ball coach" stated, probably to the detriment of his life. No one works harder to gain the edge. Hell he was apparently not even aware of an election on Tuesday. This is sad in a way, but perhaps explains why he is the GOAT in what he does. Read his unauthorized biography. He is his career more than anyone I know of. This explains why his assistants will never be as successful and most not even close.
