Before Saban arrived at LSU the talent in Louisiana was a virtual grab bag for the top programs in surrounding states,”


That's completely false. Before DiNardo arrived, that's the way it was, but Gerry D stopped most of the exodus. Saban did even better, but Gerry D stopped the hemoraging.

I love CLM but we would be fools to not appreciate the foundation that NS set for LSU football.


Nick Saban did a great job at LSU, but he left after the 2004 season, what's happened since then is due to the current coaching staff and administration.

LSU made Nick Saban as much as Nick Saban made LSU.

Suck Faban.

Go be a BAMA fan if you like the Angry Midget so much.

DiNardo "brought back the magic" by heavily recruiting in state players. LSU was bound to succeed no matter who was really coaching this decade. Saban was in the right place at the right time. LSU made him into who he is today.

Nick Saban is a terrific football coach, and I will always be greatful for what he did for LSU.

And, I think we really, really lucked out by getting Les Miles. I actually think Miles is every bit the equal of Saban. Considering the previous coaches we've had, we all should be greatful that we got Miles. I know I am.

But, do I appreciate Coach Saban? You bet I do!!

I give Saban full credit for building our program into a success while he was coach. I also give Les Miles full credit for continuing the great football program we have today. I also give Saban full credit for how poorly he handled his leaving LSU and then becoming the head coach at Alabama. I'd like to know if he enjoys having LSU in the West with his new team Alabama?

Thanks Coach Nick for turning our program around and building the monster that is now LSU football. And to you posters who fail to recognize where we came from as a program. You are either to young to remember or you are just plain ignorant. Thanks again Coach Saban. We wouldn't be where we are now without you.

He pushed for the creation of the Academic Center for Student-Athletes which is a huge plus for the program both with parents of prospects and for the outstanding academic progress/success rate.
