Sometimes you have to get rid of everything and build it back up!

No and no coach should have to. If you're willing to pay a coach 8 figures a year, then you should be willing to trust him with the football program entirely. Especially when you're doing it with other people's money.

Lou Tepper declined his offer

The controversy wasn’t around who he retained, it was the fact that he didn’t bring anyone from his Michigan State staff mainly because his old staff decided to remain intact and continue under Bobby Williams.

No, Bobby stayed at Mich St and was the Head Coach. After he was let go then he became LSU coach.

Correct, once he was officially hired here he sent a plane to Michigan state and said anyone was welcome to join him for the same position at LSU. The plane returned empty and everyone started saying how big of a jackass Saban must be and everyone hates working for him.
Looking back everyone at Mich St basically torpedoed their career.

You will always retain at least one coach to help retain the players. It will be someone who is a good recruiter and has a relationship with the players. Corey Raymond needs to be that guy.

No one from MSU came with Saban. They sent an airplane up to East Lansing to bring back to LSU any of the staff that wanted to join Saban. Again, no one got on the plane.
