I have to dispute that the current coach at ou is more accomplished than Saban was when he arrived


What people forget about Saban was his reputation as a defensive mastermind was well established by the late 1980s. There's a reason why he and Belichik are the best two coaches in history in their respective leagues. Riley is just one of many Air Raid coaches from the Mumme/Leach tree. He stepped into a strong program built by Stoops and improved it.

Some truth but so what

The real truth is that LSU was willing to make the changes that Saban wanted which Michigan state would not make.

Then he won big

At LSU we bring out the best in coaches

We make champions

LSU didn't even know what those changes were until Saban taught them what a championship program looked like.

Saban made LSU.

Nope

LSU made the changes that Saban wanted and then he won big.

Bottom line here

LSU doesn’t need Riley to win a natty but Riley needs LSU to win one

That’s pure truth

The post Saban Era has seen LSU win two national championships with mentally deficient head coaches

And lsu likely wins one or two more if not having to contend with Saban

Saban woke a sleeping giant. Riley will revive it from its temporary coma induced by being run over by a shrimp boat and its captain
