Coaching Carousel

[CitizenSnips]

In the NFL today, almost every coach has seemed to branch off one man. Bill Walsh.

I mean the examples are everywhere. Andy Reid, Jon Gruden, Dick Jauron, Steve Marriuci, Mike Shannahan, Jeff Fisher, Denny Green, Gary Kubiak, Dick Nolan, Mike Nolan, Ray Rhodes, and i can go on...sadly...

Anyway, I've seen posts about how people are afraid our coordinators and assistants are going to leave for better jobs in the future, well that is the ultimate compliment for a coach. In fact, Saban himself is a deciple of a coach I'd rather not name aloud.

Capers, Linehan, Mularkey, Muschamp, Smith, Baggett...one of thems already gotten a new head coaching job, and eventually im betting the others will too. However, whats important now is to win with all this expereinced coaching.

do you think it'd be cool in 10 years to say "hey, that guy worked under saban at one point, him too..and him" Because niners fans sure can.

That would be nice, but Saban will always be traced back to the Belichick tree.

you do have a point, but Mike holmgren is much accredited for doing it on his own, but i believe he started out at niner coach as well.

And Belichick will forever be linked to the Parcells tree.....

Actually, I think history has shown that Parcells can't win without Belichick. Belichick will be at the root of his own tree.

Hopefully you're right. I hope Saban does enough to stand on his own.
