re: So let's talk about Saban's tree.

My point was there is no reason to stretch to claim Muschamp. He sucks. But under anyone's normal "coaching tree" he is 100% in Saban's.

The real stretch is Fisher, but the press has been trying to push that also.

Fisher is a combination of guys. Offensive philosophy is clearly all his own, but his program structure is obviously based on Saban's. He says as much. And then he coached under Bowden, but to be frank I'm not sure he took anything away from end of career Bobby. I probably wouldn't add him in a Saban tree the same way I wouldn't add Dantonio, but they were both influenced in some way.
