re: Saban considered to be a risk when he was hired @ LSU

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

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.
