Isn't that what Saban did by coaching with Bill Bellecick then he went to Alabama?

Dude did a great job biding his time and pouncing on a good situation. Does make me wonder if he could do the same coming into a place in bad shape though

Wait. Are we talking about Kirby or Saban? Which bad program did Saban succeed at...because I don't see one.

He coached at Michigan State and went 34-24-1.

You’re comparing spending 4 years in the NFL as a DC and transitioning to a HC job at Mich St (14 total wins over the previous 4 seasons including going winless the year before Saban got there), to Smart spending 8 years coaching and recruiting at a what Saban turned into a hyper-successful college program, then becoming the HC at another good college program in the same conference? You understand why these are vastly different correct?

You’re going to try to tell a Bama fan that our program wasn’t in shambles when Saban arrived?
