I am sorry, you are just showing how clueless you are. He was a very well regarded guy, mostly in NFL circles. He was considered a defensive guru and had been Belichick's DC at Cleveland and was rumored to be destined for an NFL job before he even came to LSU.

I was an undergrad at LSU at the time Saban was hired. There were those (less knowledgeable types) that complained about the hire, but anyone that knew anything about football recognized the potential. I was pretty ambivalent about LSU football prior to that move, having been a guy with no LA roots. That hire caused me to take notice because I viewed it as a step towards legitimacy.

So tired of people repeating this mantra, it is so BS.... Saban was on NFL radars while at Michigan State, he was a huge hire at the time. His record at Michigan State was after Michigan State was coming off being sanctioned by the NCAA and had not had a winning season in 5 years.
If the internet was what it is today, back in 95 it would have been like Michigan hiring Harbaugh, or Meyer to Ohio State a huge deal.
