3. Four FBS head coaches -- Mark Dantonio of Michigan State, Derek Dooley of Tennessee, Jimbo Fisher of Florida State and Mike Haywood of Miami (Ohio) -- are former Nick Saban assistants. Texas defensive coordinator Will Muschamp, a Saban protégé, is an official head coach-in-waiting. Crimson Tide coordinators Kirby Smart and Jim McElwain are unofficial HCIWs. Linebackers coach James Willis just became Texas Tech's defensive coordinator. That’s pretty strong.

:lol: 3. Alabama coach Nick Saban doesn't play video games but he sounded as if he just put down the sticks when he described how he doesn't talk to kickers during the game. "Kickers are a little bit like assassins," Saban said. "They got one shot. They got all day that they can prepare for it. When they get in the window and take the shot, they've got to make it. I don't think you mess that up right before he's pulling the trigger. So I don't usually say anything."
