Some may think it is impossible to replace Bill Belichick and Nick Saban,
00:04
but history shows it can work out better than you think.
00:08
No one would know better than Jimmy Johnson, who took over for Tom Landry in Dallas
00:12
and was just 1-15 at the beginning, before going on to win back-to-back Super Bowls.
00:17
Johnson also replaced Don Shula with the Dolphins, making the playoffs 3 out of 4 seasons.
00:22
At the college level, Bill O'Brien took over for Joe Paterno at Penn State,
00:27
immediately receiving the Big Ten Coach of the Year award, before leaving for the NFL after two years.
00:32
While Jimbo Fisher succeeded Bobby Bowden at Florida State,
00:36
and actually had a better winning percentage and won a national championship.
00:39
So all hope is not lost for New England and Alabama.
