If you’ve watched "The Drive" this year, you’ve noticed some eerie similarities between the approaches of Coach Andersen and Coach Whittingham. Andersen uses the same phrases at the same times, unabashedly cribbing from Whittingham’s coaching philosophy. Imitation is the highest form of flattery and all that. Coach Andersen is using the exact same ‘process’ day in and day out, because he has watched Coach Whittingham win a whole lot of games with it. He’s not the first coach to imitate his mentor; certain coaching trees have propagated across all of college football. Coaches have seen their approaches impact dozens of offshoots; of active coaches in the modern era, the most prolific trees belong to Nick Saban, Bill Snyder, Bobby Bowden, Mike Gundy, and Urban Meyer.
