To be fair, LSU fans didn't greet Saban with open arms
it was more a "Who in the hell is this guy?"
Funny story, right before LSU won the title in 2003, a Michigan State alumni was like "you can have him, he didn't impress me that much"
At the time, I was was already being an obnoxious LSU fan. because I was convinced Nick was special, all you have to do is listen to him speak at the weekly press conference... he was different day one...

DeBoer is a good coach, but the comparison to when the GOAT was hired is not even close. I predict a lot of 8-4 and 9-3 seasons and watching Bama fans melt.

Maybe casual fans said that, but I was happy about it.

It's always seemed odd to me that people who consider themselves football fans were unaware of just how good a football coach Nick Saban was when he was hired by LSU. They apparently just looked at his record at Michigan State, overlooking the sanctions they were under and their little brother status in Michigan.
I remember an article written by Dennis Dodd at the time where he stated that, for the outrageous sum of $1,2M, LSU could have done so much better.
I was thrilled with the hire from day one, and I was surprised that no one else seemed to be.

When was the last time it was obvious Fans, even ADs, know little about athletics.
