4-7, 3-8. That was LSU's record the 2 years before Saban was hired.

The irony of you calling people clueless is that you are the one that is clearly clueless. You look only on the surface at the record or scores of individual games and clearly have no idea of the state of the program at the time. When all you do is look at 1 thing and don't go beyond that, you show you are ignorant.

The 10-3 for example was Saban's 2nd year at a program that had 8 losing seasons in the previous 11 years. It was also the schools first trip to the SEC CG, first SEC title in 13 years they also finished #7 making it the first top 10 finish in 14 years and iirc only the 2nd top 10 finish since 1969, but no that's not accomplishing anything.

Saban also suggested/demanded some important improvements to the facilities around the program. One of the things that held LSU back for a long time was the state of the facilities. Saban got the football ops building started, though he never got to use it. He also demanded the academic center which at the time was one of the first. Along with improvements to the training facilities. These types of things are CRUCIAL to building an elite program. If you don't think this stuff is important, how do you think a Fortune 500 company would do if their employees were using a Commedore 64 computer today? Or Windows 3.0?

Then there is the recruiting. While DiNardo did do some nice things and got some key guys, he still missed on several. Saban locked down Louisiana like no one else. The 2001, 2003 and 2004 classes he signed are among the best not only in school history, but in the nation of the last 15-20 years. Look them up and see how many pros where in there. The 03 and 04 classes were the foundation of Miles first 3 seasons when the team was 34-6. If Saban had stayed, he would have done at least that good or better. My bet is he wins the 2006 NC here as well.

Looking at just the records ans saying it wasn't that great is total ignorance and shows who is really clueless
