Saban was coming off a 10-3 SEC Title season. Different stages, how so?


You gotta be kidding me. Dinardo left talent, but not 4 NFL first rounders in one draft type of talent. This is not meant to discount the job Les Miles has done, but you are drinking some kool-aid if you didn't see the differences in the state of the program.

1. Facilities. There was no Cox Academic Center, there was no Football Operations Center.

2. Aside from the '01 SEC Title...LSU hadn't won shite since the late 80's. Saban could only point to the hope of winning National Championships.

3. Talent. Again from my previous point. Saban, without looking at the previous draft results, left 6 1st round draft picks for Les. Dinardo left 0 I believe.

Again, Les Miles has been the shite up to this point, but don't think Saban did not improve the state of the program greatly.

Is the idiotic point Sammich is trying to make. Nevermind that this decade has been the greatest in terms of success in LSU history and it all started with Saban and commitment by LSU.

He lost 5 games in 2002. He lost to UAB in 2000. Blah blah blah.

I hate Saban threads. I appreciate what he did, but I come off sounding like he WAS GOD when I'm just giving him his due for helping make LSU into what it always COULD HAVE BEEN.

Now, we're getting 50+ hung on us with regularity and fans that are concerned are the azzholes? That's bullshite.
