Legendary Coach Gene Stallings Discusses the Similarities Between Jimbo Fisher and Nick Saban
Many coaches have learned from Nick Saban throughout his tenure as a head coach, and now the teacher is having to compete with the students with three of those coaches in the conference.
Kirby Smart at Georgia came close to defeating Saban in the National Championship game, Jeremy Pruitt will get his opportunity on October 20, and Jimbo Fisher was defeated in the season opener of the 2017 season. Fisher now with the Texas A&M Aggies looks to close in on Saban in the conference.
