It hasn't gone well when Nick Saban's former assistants face their former employer.
Historically, it has been terrible actually.
Saban has posted an 11-0 record against former assistants who took the reins at another program. In Monday's College Football Playoff National Championship, Saban will coach against another former assistant for the 12th time. On this occasion, he will face Georgia head coach Kirby Smart.
Smart was on Saban's Alabama staff for nine consecutive years. After spending the first year as a defensive backs coach, Smart became Saban's defensive coordinator for the next eight seasons. Taking the Georgia job after he helped Alabama win the 2015 national title, Smart propelled the Bulldogs from an 8-5 campaign in year one to a 13-1 record with a Rose Bowl win in year two.
