I think we are here because saban showed you could win big at lsu.

But dinardo showed saban that you could win.

People act like we were dog shite the entire time under dinardo. It just went off the rails in the end. The team had been ranked in the top 5.

DiNardo was not a great coach but he had a marketing ploy that was genius “Bring Back the Magic” and he used tactics that have become tradition at LSU that stand until this day. This is the turn around I remember at LSU before Saban was ever a thought at LSU. I will just never forget Saban professing his love for LSU while The Dolphins plane was parked at the airport.

Nah. I read Saban’s book after the championship.

He says that when he was coaching with the Browns, he read a report on what states produced the most NFL players and he was shocked and amazed that Louisiana was #4 behind California, Texas and Florida. So when he was offered the job here, he realized that if he just locked down the in-state talent, he could build a powerhouse.
