Years ago Miami of Ohio used to be the cradle of coaches, then Nick Saban's Alabama program, six-time national champions, became college football's Celebrity Coaching Rehab.
Lane Kiffin, Steve Sarkisian and Mario Cristobal went through the Saban car wash, fired elsewhere only to become $10 million a year men in top programs. Former Bama defensive coordinator Kirby Smart won two national championships at Georgia after working for the Tide taskmaster. Dan Lanning and Tosh Lupoi worked in the Saban Progrum.
Saban's on the ESPN College GameDay set these days, so someone else has to take over the mantle.
