ORLANDO, Fla. — As Jim Harbaugh and Nick Saban sat next to each other at a podium one day before coaching against each other in the Citrus Bowl, the two coaches were posed an interesting question.

What would they talk about if they had one hour to sit together and pick each other's brains?

It was an interesting query. Saban has coached since 1973 and has won six national championships; he's widely considered one of the greatest football coaches of all time. Harbaugh, meanwhile, has been an accomplished and winning coach in four different stops at the collegiate and professional level.
