Give the man his due for the impact and direction setting he put in place at LSU. The program would never have ascended to the level it did and has without him.

Looking in the mirror and being honest, LSU fans are only mad at Saban for his leaving and in seeing what could have possibly been if he had stayed.

I don’t even think it’s that. Most of understood why he wanted to go to the NFL and most didn’t begrudge it.

I also think he would be looked at more fondly if, when he came back to CFB, he returned to a different school in a different conference.

If he did what he did at Michigan, Ohio State, FSU or something we’d look at him a lot different.

But he came back to Bama and we had to face him every year and he was a direct obstacle to LSUs success. That’s really the issue. Not that he returned to college and was the GOAT
