Also Bama's program was in better shape than LSU's when he arrived at each school.

The difference though was that Bama came off of 2 consecutive bowl appearances. LSU came off of 2 consecutive losing seasons. Saban had work to do in both places, but expectations were somewhat different in both programs at the times he first went to both.

Ridiculous. Bama was by no stretch an elite powerhouse when Saban took over, but to compare them to eight losing seasons in 11 years, back to back 4-7 and 3-8 seasons, 12 years removed from the last SEC title, 14 years removed from the last major bowl appearance, outrageous rates of attrition and by far the worst period in our history is just silly.
