Saban wasn't succeeding at Miami even with Brees. Better question is what school is Saban at now had it happened? What big schools were looking for a coach the following year? I assume he would have only lasted one more year before jumping...

You people are nuts. Saints' first Super Bowl FAR outweighs another LSU NC.

Some of you are too young to remember all of Saints history, how excruciating it was for those of us there from the start.

New Orleans NEEDED Brees, and still does, for more than football.

You can't just assume Brees would have the same success. Given Payton and Brees connection and ability to be on the same page during a game is remarkable. After this season I think most people realize that while Brees is great, Payton made this team what it is.
So I think Saban might have stayed a little longer in the NFL but who knows. He still could have ended up at Bama.

Yeah, basically that's what I thought of last night during the game...those 5 INT's screwed LSU Drew...

I love LSU more than is probably healthy, but no. The Saints Super Bowl is and will likely always be my favorite sporting event I've ever seen. Words cannot describe how important that was to so many

HAHAHAHAHA

The people making Brees out to be some savior of New Orleans and not just a football player are incredible.

I know this may be blasphemy to the school of thought that says Saban is this great demigod of a coach, and the only reason he didnt succeed in Miami was due to a fluke of bad fortune, in that the team forced him to pull the trigger on Culpepper versus taking a chance on Brees. However, I'm not completely convinced that HE has much different results with the Dolphins, if he had gotten Brees. I cetainly don't think he would have mirrored Payton's success.

I wouldn't care if the saints left New Orleans if it got LSU another NC.

No because Saban would have left anyway. He couldn't hack it in the NFL no matter who his QB was. Sean Payton's system made Brees what he is. I like Brees in New Orleans.
