The LSU brass flew to meet with Glen Mason of Minnesota. He told them no, but recommended they speak to this up and comer coach - Nick Saban. Desperate to come home with a coach they told Jimmy Sexton the check book is blank. They (Sexton and Saban) wanted to be the highest paid coach in the NCAA, and they got it.
Nick left Lansing, on the LSU jet, without telling his players goodbye.
The rest is history.

What? Nick Saban was not the highest paid coach in cfb when he arrived at lsu. He wasnt unitl he won the BCSCG. His contract stipulated that if he won the bcscg he would make 1 $ more than the highest paid coach in cfb.

Mason would have won at LSU. He's a good coach, but he met his wife in MPLS and didn't want to leave. The gophers never should have fired Mason.
Mason would have won an SEC title or two at LSU, gone to good bowl games and he would have been in contention for a national title and maybe won one at LSU.
