Want some insane statistics about the Nick Saban and his coaching tree?
We know his record against assistants is peerless — he’s now 21-0 against his former pupils. And, yes, we know he tends to grind them into powder: the average score of those 23 contests now stands at 41-14.
A truly unreal statistic is that in the SEC, presently five of the conference’s current head coaches were once Saban assistants and coordinators: Georgia, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas A&M, and now Ole Miss.
But perhaps the most bizarre stat is that tonight was the second overall of three straight meetings in one season between Saban and one of his proteges.
