Saban was the mind behind LSU's defenses not Muschamp

Look at what Auburn did this year on D, then compare our talent to theirs. Muschamp's Ds have been solid for years.

Saban coached the D-Backs, Muschamp ran the D.

Saban was in on the game plan but Will ran the D.

and even IF saban called the shots and was the brains...

muschamp was supposed to have been under those brains for years and not have learned anything at all?

Muschamp is a great defensive mind as evidenced by the fact that he was the first coach Saban tried to hire after he accepted the Alabama job.

or considering their past, he knew muschamp would understand his system and do what he was told, like at LSU (im not saying muschamp isnt smart or good)

There is a term.....overcoaches. Curly did this to all his coaches. Only brought the ones he could overcoach. Saban is much like that. Remember John Thompson who only lasted 2 weeks. From what has been witnessed at the coaches meetings, there was only one person speaking and that was Saban. Now.....when Dietzel and Cholly Mac were in meetings, they would go at it tooth and nail. It was jaw to jaw and cheek to cheek. Two heads were better than one and it worked. I would bet that Saban either called the D's are did in the beginning.
