What do Jackson State football coach Deion Sanders and Alabama coach Nick Saban have in common besides doing Aflac commercials? How about loading up on former head coaches?
Saban has hired Lane Kiffin, Mike Stoops, Major Applewhite, Butch Jones, Steve Sarkisian, Mike Locksley and Charlie Strong, just to name a few, since taking over the Crimson Tide. The majority of them were hired as an analyst. Saban has won seven national titles, while Sanders is looking for his first Black college football national title.
Sanders has now hired former Minnesota Vikings coach Mike Zimmer to be an analyst for Jackson State.
