Saban's combination of recruiting skills, NFL experience and a pro-style offense make him predictably hard to beat on draft day. He's placed at least one first-round pick in the draft for eight consecutive years, and produced multiple first-rounders over five straight drafts from 2010-2014. He's had 39 draft picks over the last five years, the most of any coach listed here. As for an example of his ability to develop talent, he helped Rashad Johnson go from former walk-on to third-round pick (2009), and Johnson is entering his eighth NFL season as a DB. "Coach Saban came in and changed my mindset tremendously," Johnson said in April. "... He just began to teach me the little things about playing the position, to be able to recognize plays before they happen -- which has become kind of like my forte."
