Not sure if this should go on Coaching Changes, Recruiting, SECr or here....

Not playing Saban and Bama on a yearly basis would seem to clear the path to a National Championship for LSU on a yearly basis...

But would this essentially derail our pipeline in Texas? With the revival of A&M and Saban setting up in the Lone Star state, would the Ed Paris's still make the trek across the state line?

so far it's been about even. But it's starting to be bad for LSU.

Well, Bama definitely improved after Saban got there. And Bama has gotten several good players out of Louisiana so I'd say since Saban arrived at Bama it's been mostly bad for LSU and good for Bama.

How does one not play Bama? Just because Saban leaves, we will still have to play Bama

I like Saban at Alabama and I think it is good for the SEC and LSU. Him recruiting in Texas could hurt LSU in that department, and him just being in the sec raises everyone's level. These last few years games against Alabama have been awesome

Saban to Bama would probably mean 3 or 4 NC's for them

It would be bad for LSU

Please dont let it be

Well it's not that easy. But even if we got into the playoffs, more than likely, we'd have to play him. Which is the reason I'd rather have him at Texas. Chances are, if he stays at Bama, we'd play him twice a year. Once during the season and then again in the playoff.

That's the main reason I'm in favor of him going to Texas. Sure he'd get a lot of Texas recruits, but Texas is huge. He can't get them all.

yes

edit: misread, thought you meant Ed Paris specifically

I must be from the future. I'd say pretty even, but there will be a serious mulligan in about 4 years that seems to "turn the tide" to his favor.

He won't be the next head coach at Bama because he told everybody he wouldn't

If anything, the fact that LSU wouldn't have to play against Saban yearly as a conference foe, would be a plus. The recruiting scenario would stay the same, if a kid wants to play for Saban, it doesn't matter if he's in Austin or Tuscaloosa.

He is still gonna grab top talent from us, but the guys will not be in the same division as us and will be in a different conference so it will not sting as much.

Think about this, Saban is Saban, and he'll bring his pipelines with him. He'll have to change strategies in how he build's his on-field team once he's at Texas, which will give us a window of two-three years. Looking ahead at talent in Louisiana and the 2013 and 2014 class hauls, we should win at least one, if not two titles in the next 3 years.

That gives us tons of first rounders, tons of exposure, and tons of talent wanting to play for the best team. By the time he's figured things out, we'll be stealing major recruits from his backyard.

IMO, if we get the haul we are expecting to get this year, doesn't matter what the hell he does.
