6 Years Ago in Dec.: Rich Rodriguez was picked for Alabama Job

and turned the Red Algae down (or his wife made him), then of course Alabama hired Saban after that.
If Rich Rod had taken the job, would LSU Sabanatic fans still feel the need for Saban and hate Coach Miles?

can you imagine alabama running rodriguez's preferred 3-3-5 defense?

jesus. Alabama would be in shambles now

It would be more fun to talk about Alabama in this scenario, but this is the Tiger Rant, so we shouldn't really do that.

who knows. i hate saban for the way he left lsu. imo, he used us and it worked for him. he had some really bad games here and he fricked us on our last recruiting class when he knew he was gone. however, it seems that many LSU fans forget all of the bad about saban and remember that he won an NC. they transpose the saban at LSU to the current saban. saban is a far better coach right now than he was at LSU. after the NC at LSU, saban tanked and was not interested in LSU football. it blows my mind that people forget this.

Yep. Also remember that Tebow seriously considered playing for Shula. He had some decent teams, and with Superman who knows how long Shula hangs on, making it very unlikely the timing would've been right for Saban to go there.

Couldn't have said it better myself. I'm a critic of Miles when criticism is warranted but Saban did use LSU and sort of left us in a bad place when he left.

We'd all be swimming in crystal footballs and kissing Miles' hat.

We'd have 2 more NCs had they hired RR

Didn't Miles win the nc with players that Saban recruited? I don't think Saban left LSU in a bad spot at all. If I recall, I think Saban left detailed notes regarding the state of the program so as to help out the next coach.

I've always wondered if RR turned them down or once Bama found out Saban had interest they pulled the rug out from Rich. I just can't buy he wanted to stay in WVU then, but would later bolt for UM.
Rod singing some Josh Grobin to Bama boosters is a funny mage though

Fixed your lame comment for you.

If only more people on the rant could admit this.

I always heard that Rich Rod's wife didn't want to live in Alabama, or Finebaulm (sic) made fun of her hair or something.

We shouldn't have lost to Iowa that last game.

Most likely Les would've gone to Mich and we would've had Saban back.
frick.
