This stat on Nick Saban's coaching tree has to be seen to be believed

Nick Saban is the greatest college football coach of all time. That's an inarguable fact. Saban hung it up following the 2023 season after winning seven National Championships, six of which were at Alabama. He dominated the sport. Along the way, he was also a kingmaker.

His coaching tree is well documented. Some of the top programs in the sport - Georgia, Texas, Oregon, to name a few - are led by head coaches who once worked for Saban at Alabama. But the numbers are even more staggering than you may think.

After UAB fired Trent Dilfer on Sunday, the Blazers promoted Alex Mortensen to interim head coach.
