00:00 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.
