The greatest coaches spit out other great coaches.

It's stretching it a little when someone has this resume and only 3 years were spent under Saban

Technically you can put Golding in as a former Saban assistant, but yes Lane is the coach that got them to #6

So do you not consider Lane Kiffin one of Saban’s former assistants either?

Lane Kiffin is more of a Pete Carroll assistant than Nick Saban and everyone knows that.

Elko worked for Jimbo who worked for Saban. I imagine we could do this all day.
