The coaches who came and went under Nick Saban, many of whom are now running their own programs, are like everybody else in the college football world.

Georgia coach Kirby Smart joked that he would like to fly all the coaches who worked under Saban to his new home in Jupiter Island, Florida, bring in a film crew and simply sit around and tell stories about Saban's legendary career.
