LSU made Nick Saban. He wouldn't be where he is today without us.
Why didn't LSU do the same for Stovall, Archer, Hallman, & Dinardo?
DiNardo got the ball rolling in returning LSU back to being a respected program in college football.
Saban made LSU a national force. The man knows how to take a program from average to elite. There's no disputing that.
Any LSU fan that tries to discredit or doesn't appreciate what he and his staff did are lying to themselves.

Finally some sanity.
LSU was NEVER a powerhouse in college football until the 2000s. Generally a tough out, yes, but never a consistent powerhouse.
And if you forgot the 1990s, then good for you because there's nothing there to savor. A record of 54-58-1.
DiNardo? Five years and his high-water mark is winning the Peach Bowl? And if he was doing such a fabulous job recruiting he sure must have sucked as a coach. He was 7-15 in his last two seasons, including 3-13 in the SEC.
LSU was fortunate to get Saban and he did a great job. Same holds true for Miles. Very different men but both can recruit and coach, and both can lead programs at a very high level.
Why is it so hard for people to simply admit this?

Because those guys are not as talented as Nick Saban. Its not as simple as just hiring a great coach. You have to have the ALL pieces in place to win titles like LSU has done. The talent was always in the state, but LSU did not hire the coaches that could recruit develope the talent. The AD and administration did not put the money into the program. Even Saban would not have succeed the way he did at LSU if he had been hired 10 years earlier. The facilities were bad, we wouldn't pay for assistants, you need that stuff in place to get the recruits in order to succeed.
Edit for clarification.
