LSU SUCKED before Saban. One title, FORTY FIVE YEARS before Saban won in 2003. The trashing of Saban on this board is hilarious.


He also led Michigan State to their best record in three decades back in 1999 (9-2). Not sure why that's being discounted here.

I think people are being petty

Sure Saban has his flaws but you don't sustain and win at the level he has consistently purely from just 'recruiting'. Seen plenty of examples of programs who recruit at a high level but underachieve every year. There has to be a sense of structure, competence and good program management to have done what he has done.

Honestly I'm impressed he got this Alabama team to the playoffs this year with Milroe at QB.

Got stomped by Barry Alvarez 40-10 that year.
