Is his final moment of closure. I knew he was never coming back to coach, I had my doubts about him helping LSU in any capacity, but he surprised me and a lot of others. I think he wanted someone from his tree here, and (as most know) helped push Lane to take the job.

He won't ever coach LSU again, but this is his final love letter to LSU and their fanbase, catastrophe syndrome and all.

All is forgiven now with Nick as far as I’m concerned.

From what he said on gameday, I felt he was pushing lane here.

Of course you realize the relationship between Lane and Saban was toxic. Might be luring him into a trap

When introduced with the 2003 national championship team in Tiger Stadium, he deserves a thunderous applause.

If Coach Nick Saban really did help LSU land Coach Kiffin, then, I feel humbled that such a great CFB figure would help his old school LSU.

I'm never going to make fun of him ever again.

PLEASE TAKE WITH A GRAIN OF SALT…

From my connections. We paid Nick close to a 7 figure deal to lead the search with the caveat that he was the back up plan if he couldn’t deliver.

It’s always been Lane.

Sorry, LSU is NOT elite. They caught lightning in a bottle for 2019 because of several players…. But before and after they pretty much sucked

Saban is an old school tell it like it is MFer. Despite what other crying babies may have claimed on TV, you know Saban told Kiffin straight up: take that job and don’t ever leave.

I’ve never been bitter toward Saban. Without him, LSU may be an afterthought in college football today. He did what he thought was best for his career and it’s just unfortunate that LSU was the stepping stone instead of the final step.

He always regretted leaving LSU. This was his thanks to the fan base that gave him the support he needed to become the GOAT.

He hated LSU. Used to make jokes about the “Cajuns”. Left for a crap job at Miami that was doomed before he took it just to leave
