re: It's official. Know won nose what Smart is doing

Saban is gold for guys like Steele and Smart. They can coach under him with his direct help and get raises elsewhere when they are done. Saban is like a great CEO for defensive coaches. They can learn under him and look great doing it and then use that experience to climb the ladder. Saban gets to broaden his coaching tree and gets to enhance his influence/legacy in the college game. Bill Belichik is the same way in that many guys have got better jobs due to working under him and he has established a vast inluential coaching tree that will be there after he leaves coaching.
