If you're to ignorant to understand that Saban was building a program and that building something takes time then you need not post anymore. You're not a coach you're a worthless fan who only looks at W's and L's by a coach's name to compare success. You have no intellect to fathom or understand that Saban built something from the ground floor up. His building project including not only win's and losses but recruiting, relationships, 10's of millions of dollars in new facilities and creating a culture and identity to an establishment.

It's common knowledge that sustaining a powerhouse program is harder than building one. Period.

According to whom? You're not a football coach. You have no clue. Both are hard to do one is not "harder" than another. If anything I would say that as a coach myself that building a powerful program is harder than sustaining.

It's not incredibly hard to sustain success at LSU when you have the incredible resources you have as a head coach at your disposal that are 2nd to no one in America. Majority of schools in America don't have the resources and opportunity to have success as LSU does. There is no excuse at all that LSU shouldn't be an elite Top 5 program in America year in and year out.

Whole lot easier to have an opportunity at great success when you inherit a program that just spent over 200 million dollars to give you the best facilities in America and 1 year removed from winning a National Championship and a roster stock piled with the best talent in College Football.

Saban inherited nothing close to that when he hired on at LSU. Had Saban stayed at LSU then we would be the toast of college football like Alabama is right now.
