Spoke about how he brought Jesse Jackson in to team meeting in 2003. Said Tiger Stadium is closer to kingdom of heaven than his church congregation. With team, fans, etc all in unison towards the same goal. Saban then referenced being able to smell the bourbon from the 50.

It was great, it just sucks that he’s still employed by Alabama.

Tough to hate Saban when he’s a large part of why this program finally stopped getting out of its own way and became a powerhouse

For those who have no clue what you’re talking about can you explain where and when?

ETA: Nervermind I googled. For others it was tonight, his ESPY Icon award speech.

I feel the same. Yeah, it sucks he coached at Bama and brought them to an era of utter dominance, but it’s hard to hate him. At the very least, you have to respect his work. Playing Bama and getting a win (sometimes ) won’t be the same without Saban.

I don’t necessarily dislike Nick, I just don’t like Bama. Same with Spurrier, I grew to like him after he left Florida.

I hated him for a good while for leaving us on Christmas Day, then my hatred shifted to Alabama.
I respect Nick for what he did at/for LSU, but I still know how dirty he recruited against LSU for years. I mean he’d have players commit to us, come around and recruit for Bama then decommit.
He bad mouthed our coaches to recruits, had bag men stationed in Louisiana, robbed the state in recruits blind, beat us in a NC and for 8 straight years.

I think I hate him again.

Seriously though, the man has always given great speeches and what he accomplished is insane. He is tGOAT.

Y’all don’t know it but Saban just gave us a huge recruiting tool. Saban always cared about Saban first but it doesn’t diminish the fact that he loved LSU and always will.

Steve should have been hired before Archer. There is no telling how many titles LSU would have had he were hired here.

What do you think every other coach in America does? CFB recruiting is probably some of the grimiest work there is. No one’s hand are clean

Always boggles my mind the hate for Saban. You should hate the late H.Wayne Huizenga if anyone, A N Y O N E would have left LSU for near 5 million dollars , huge raise. It sucked for us ,SURE, but nobody would pass up that pay increase
