LSU does not have a history of making splash hires.

At the time, Saban wasn’t even a splash hire. In fact he wasn’t a splash hire at bama coming off a 500 NFL record.

Since I’ve been following LSU football here are the head coaching hires:

McClendon
(Rein)
Stovall
Arnsparger
Archer
Hallman
DiNardo
Saban
Miles
O

At the time of their hire none of these coaches were splash hires. LSU has a long history hiring less than splash hires.

What makes you think that will change now?

Aren't you an old Q Tard? Is your opinion worth anything?

You can go back much further than that starting with Dietzel.

You're talking about a school that hired Van Chancellor, pal.

That’s simply not true.

No, just wanted to point out you're an old boomer idiot.

I don’t understand your ad hom non sequitur. How did I piss you off? And for the record I’m an x’er.

I’m not sure I get your argument. Saban hadn’t been pursued before Rich Rod, but I think most wouldn’t have thought Saban was going to leave the NFL to go back to college. It was essentially a Hail Mary by Mal Moore that worked out. It was a big deal when it happened.

Florida hired who they wanted. They just didn't work out. They were not fourth or fifth choice.

Saban wasn't a splash hire at LSU but he absolutely was at Bama. The gumps were lined up at the airport to greet him

Then you're lying unless you were following McLendons hiring as a toddler.
