Former Alabama quarterback and current SEC Network analyst Greg McElroy said Nick Saban should be credited with LSU’s ongoing success.

McElroy spoke yesterday to our good friend Bo Mattingly, host of ‘SportsTalk with Bo Mattingly’, via 247Sports, and he expounded on this, well, funny notion.

“If you look at LSU, they’ve had sustained success since Saban left because he established that mindset,” McElroy said. “Les Miles obviously did take over that program and has done a terrific job in his own right, but once you establish that mindset and have the leadership that holds young players accountable, that success shouldn’t soon dwindle.”

McElroy couldn’t be more wrong. Once Saban’s recruits and signees were gone – and really once Saban announced he was leaving for the Miami Dolphins, the team developed Les Miles’ mindset and identified with his persona.

LSU was successful while Saban coached at LSU. However, Saban did not revive the program, and the program is not successful now because of Saban.

Saban did a fine job in Baton Rouge. I wish we escaped the once a year 4 td loss like Alabama has,but he did wonders. But to continue to give Saban credit for LSU's success in 2014 is stupid and only the Sabanistas here who still dream about the man would feel that way.
