Seeing a lot of the same sentiments on this board when LSU hired

[

Patently false.

Did this board exist then?

It, in fact, did not.

bullshite.

The general sentiment when Saban was hired was guarded optimism and most were intrigued by the hire.

LSU fans were impressed with the job he did at Michigan State while in the shadow of Ann Arbor, and people could see from the beginning he was the disciplinarian the program needed after Dinardo.

After his first press conference, many loved the hire.

Compuserve chat room was pissed no lie

This is the second time this has been posted today and it is total bullshite. How old were you when Saban was hired?

But I tell you what ... had Saban had the same track record as Steele ...

1) Going 1-31 or something in conference play at Baylor.

2) Crying on the sidelines.

3) Looked at with consternation for having fainting spells on gameday.

4) His most famous achievement as a DC giving up 70 points in a major bowl game ...

and 5) having been fired as a DC, then demoted to where your former subordinate is now your superior ...

then yes, the LSU fans would have hated the Nick Saban hire like they hate the Kevin Steele hire.

And they would have had great reasons for doing so.

im sorry I say bull shite. I remember hearing Tim Brando talk about the Saban and hire and although a kind of unknown commodity most of the people were pretty excited about the hire.

You younger guys don't remember....but I do.
