What if Saladin had died during the Siege of Jerusalem

What if Saladin had died during the Siege of Jerusalem and one of his brothers had to take over? Saladin's forces still managed to take Jerusalem, only in the process they lost Saladin. THe third Crusade with all its stupidies getting there still happen but the Crusaders action will be influenced by the news.
 
And assuming one of his brothers takes over smoothly - obviously if it's not so smooth that's another matter entirely - so what?

Saladin was not as good a general as he was a leader.
 
How likely is it that one of his brothers takes over smoothly, though?

"Not very."

At best "who takes over?" is going to have be decided somehow, which will take time they don't really have. And that's assuming no fighting more serious than a heated argument.
