I'm really struggling as to whether i'd want him back. LSU would not be where it is today without Saban, period. But, the main question I keep coming to is "can someone change?" Now here is what I mean by that. Saban has publicly stated it was a mistake to leave. This team is not a disciplined team at all. Under Saban LSU would not have 1 game with over 100 yards of penalties.

I really believe Saban wants to be here. I truly believe he loves the people and fans. Now, I like him as a coach. No matter where he is in college football he's a top 5 coach. He would keep LSU atop the upper echelon for many years to come.

Now, many people don't mind that he left for Miami, it's how he left. He lied, plain and simple. He said he wasn't going, and he went. Some people are mad that he came back to CF and chose Bama. Well, if every school (including LSU) was available when he came back he would have chosen LSU over every college. There's a rumor he's willing to take a paycut and include a buyout in his contract (something he doesn't do) to come back here.

No matter how you look at it he is the reason we expect to win the SEC west now, not just hope to win it.

What say you?

I'd take him back in a heartbeat, but I just don't see it happening!

Don't have to be torn, it aint happening. Think about it for just a minute and stop listening to the rumor starters around here. They have been trying to put this board in a tizzy for a while, and they have succeeded. You should be torn between ever trusting the scoop on this board again or not.

Keep those Saban threads coming. If we talk about it enought he will come

Y'all would want Major Applewhite as OC? (

Saban back to LSU = b.s.
would you take $aban back poll! Yes or No (Page 1 2 3 4 )

Would Saban's staff be any different at LSU?

Saban is kicking himself for leaving Miami a year too early (Page 1 2 )

Post deleted on Alabama message board

How do you think these guys would feel if.

How pissed would the Bama folks be, if Saban ..........

Be honest with yourself and fellow board memeber..... (Page 1 2 )

personally, i really want him back here

WHat Does Coach Brad Bradshaw think about Saban and LSU

If Saban is announced next week

The best thing about Saban coming back to LSU...

Since Saban Was Recruiting In Louisiana Yesterday

Saban's Press Conf........

Why would anyone want Saban back?

IF Saban?

How long would it take Saban to meltdown if

Saban WOULD NOT Be Blasted By Media If He Returned (Page 1 2 )

Saban's first press conference in BR...

Now you like Saban?

Saban coming back? Is that a joke?

Saban in North Louisiana (Page 1 2 )

if saban comes back to LSU

Saban, Spurrier fall short of expectations (Fox)

We are making ourselves look stupid...

Rational.

He lied, plain and simple

Football is a business - it will not come up on the man's judgment day, I don't think. It is impossible to determine what anyone (you included) would say if placed in his position.

Be grateful you had him, beat 'Bama like you would anyone else, and if the opportunity comes to improve LSU, albeit by the return of Saban, then it is illogical to not do anything but embrace the man.

He's just not what we need now...we need to move forward.

No matter what, we've won at a higher rate with Miles than with Saban....but people just aren't fascinated with Miles..and I understand that.

But, Saban isn't what we need in my opinion.

LSU doesn't need to average 8.67 penalties per game for 66.67 yards.

And we don't need at least 3 losses a year either.

I say if this is causing you so much trouble you might want to consider seeing a therapist.

Better to take our chances with the unknown (someone who hasn't been here before)

You don't have to give me anything...but hey, if you want to go back to having at least 3 losses a year and a much more conservative offense than we have now, that's fine.

Be careful what you wish for
