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

Both the Champ and Jim went out of conference before going back to the SEC. Smart went straight to UGA and took transfers and recruits with him that he was originally recruiting to come to Bama. UGA and Bama go after the same recruits every year, USC is not a factor and Florida is always going to get some good instate prospects even when they are .500 and coached by Muschamp. Best believe Saban wants UGA to stay down for several reasons. They are one of maybe 5 programs that compete with Bama in terms of talent. As long as Saban gets to cherry pick talent from LA and GA they are going to the playoffs every year.
