Was LSU considered at top tier team in 2000? did anyone really know of any of these players before saban got here besides Josh Booty or maybe trev Faulk?

The issue is not whether these players were household names, the issue is that many LSU fans believe LSU was void of talent when Saban took over at LSU and he built the program from scratch. That premise is false as evidenced by the number of players he inherited who went on to play in the NFL. I don't dispute Saban coached them and improved them, but they had to have God-given ability to eventually play at the highest level. And even with Saban's coaching, LSU still lost a number of games that in hindsight, you can argue that LSU should have won.
