Nick Saban Talks Hypotheticals About Staying At LSU Instead Of Leaving For The Dolphins

Saban was never not going to try the NFL. The issue was always that when he returned to college, he went to goddamn fricking Alabama. There was never a chance of getting him back after he left the Dolphins but I sure wish he had gone to a non SEC school.

it's not THAT he left LSU. it's HOW he left us.
1. Press conf saying i am happy at LSU. i am not taking another job...period
2. Didn't prepare the team for a bowl game against lowly Iowa and we lose
3. Goes completely against his word and flies to Miami from the bowl game without remorse
4. Fails in the NFL and comes back to LSUs archrival.

Prick Saban might be a good coach, but i hope he has had a chance to rethink his morals. That isnt the way a stand up guy composes himself. so im glad he left and will never pull for him again.

Can you imagine the suicides around LSU football the day he retires from LSU if he would have stayed.

If he leaves 2 weeks earlier, LSU gets Spurrier instead of Miles.

He would've been fired by 2008

I don’t think he ends up as good a coach without the Miami failure and first year at Bama losing to ULM.

Kirk’s dog. Lol.

He still loves us.

I said it. Now, he is saying it. He left the NFL, because Miami did not sign Brees. Had he known Miami was not going to give him the keys to the Cadillac, he would have stayed at LSU.

Nick keeps Just For Men in business

It is hard to say, but I think I would take the Drew Brees era Saints and the Super Bowl even if it meant the Bama dynasty. Though an LSU dynasty similiar to Bama's would be hard to pass even if it meant the Saints were still the Aints...and possibly relocated. Tough call!

Oh well, water under the bridge. Saban is still the LSU GOAT coach. Glad we got to be a small part of his success.

There was so much “will he leave” drama every year. By the time he did leave it was not a surprise and a lot of people were glad because they were tired of the drama.

LSU makes coaches...... not the other way around.

Oh LSU, still fretting over this one. What could have been? lol

So he straight up admitted what we all assumed lmao

Once heard an interview with Ms Terry on the radio while he was at LSU. She was very blunt in saying that if a good opportunity came along he would take an NFL coaching job.

Jesus frick me Christ this shite happened 20 years ago and we're still talking about.

The funny thing I always think about is if he stays in Miami, Les Miles probably wins at least 3 national titles and is viewed as this college football legend. Crazy how much of a Butterfly Effect Drew Brees had on football at all levels.

He would have constantly flirted with going to the NFL. It's just something a guy like him needed to experience. I don't think anything would have changed had he stayed that year. He would've been gone the next. It would have been nice if he had come back to LSU after his stint in the NFL, but that was simply not going to be.
