Sorry if Germans but this article should give all Some perspective. I love CLM but we would be fools to not appreciate the foundation that NS set for LSU football.

Nick Sabans Role in Creating the LSU Monster

quote:

“Before Saban arrived at LSU the talent in Louisiana was a virtual grab bag for the top programs in surrounding states,” Long said. “These days it's rare that a top player in the state goes anywhere but Baton Rouge.”

LSU made Nick Saban. He wouldn't be where he is today without us.

I appreciate what he did for LSU, but that doesn't mean I have to like him.

I think any sensible person realizes he played an important role in our rejuvenation. However, he also screwed us pretty good upon his exit and the success achieved was mutually beneficial: he gained from LSU and LSU gained from him. It's not as though he did it on his own.

Please excuse me if I am not able to do that at this particular point in time. Maybe after the 9th.

I appreciate what Nick accomplished at LSU, and still do.

However, like too many of these articles and narratives, that one paints the picture of LSU being much bleaker before he arrived than it actually was in reality.

Actually...Dinardo was the one that started building the recruiting fence around Louisiana. Just check out the players that were here in 2000 when Saban arrived for proof. Long needs to recognize.

Louisiana high schools made Saban

I appreciate that Nick Saban led LSU to a 13-1 record and the 2003 National Championship. Thanks for the title, coach.



There.

I appreciated him like I appreciate that William Tecumseh Sherman was once the superintendent of LSU.

I appreciate Les. NC#4 is Les Miles' creation.

Should be titled, "LSU's role in creating Nick Saban's success".

He deserves slot of credit for players staying in the state. Changed the ack of depth in LSU football. No hate here. The program continues, from the foundation of a good bass. Saban screwed himself, as I see it,he could have had more.

Some can stillllllllllll not get over NS.

NS has not had one freaking thing to do with the current LSU 13-0 record other to crap out against LSU AT Bama.

I thank NS for his effort at LSU almost 8 yrs ago, but some need to wake up and smell the coffee.
