Those numbers are very exaggerated.

Look at the claim of "14 future national titles" -- all of them are just re-counting Meyer's national titles (because his assistants are counted as separate national titles), except for the one guy who was an assistant on the LSU BCS title team coached by Saban. They're counting Florida's 2006 title five times, and their 2008 title four times -- and even with all the multiple counting, the writer miscounted, it still only adds up to 12.



In other words, Urban Meyer and Nick Saban have been the head coaches of teams that won national titles. Duh.

The Super Bowl claim isn't much better. All the guys listed were non-coordinator assistants on Super Bowl winning teams. Sometimes a non-coordinator assistant is a huge contributor; sometimes he's just along for the ride.

As for the future head coaches -- at most three of those guys were/are good head coaches.
