I guess, but not like you think as That Msu HC job was BETTER for learning for the future than extra years as a DC.
Except Smart got to benefit from the experience Saban gained by coaching and recruiting for him up until the second he became a head coach
Then he immediately just modeled his approach after Saban, and started recruiting the same kids for himself instead lol

Good enough to finish top 10 in 2005.
Yay, one 10 win season in 4 years. Followed it up by going 6-7 and just 2-6 in the conference.
And every single one of those 16 combined wins got vacated Saban’s first year for some textbook bs lol

Or Saban benefited from Kirby’s recruiting and connection with kids and now he is doing it on his own.

Are you somehow inferring that Georgia and Alabama have not always gone after a lot of the same kids?

The benefit of:
4 DC years under bill b + 5 HC years at MSU + 5 HC years at LSU + 2 NFL HC years

8 DC years under saban.
By a lot.

2006 was not far from 10 wins, just like uga 2015 wasn’t far from 6 wins. Both schools had top 10 seasons followed by a season bad enough to fire the coach. They are MUCH closer than you are willing to admit.
