He said they told him when saban was at LSU no coach was allowed to leave the facility until Nick did. Also Nick tried to return to LSU after the NFL job. LSU told him no because every assistant coach said if Nick came back, they would leave because they wanted to work for Les.
id rather a wholes staff of new assistant coaches and 3 national titles than the one we have

If true I think it had more to do with not wanting to fire a coach who was 22-4 at the time.

He told him under saban they weren't allowed to leave until the HC did. Les told him to go home and take care of his family. Work could wait till tomorrow.



Probably true and also probably the reason they have won 3 titles in 4 years and we have won none. Just saying.

the coaches take like a week off the whole year. when they arent gameplanning, they are recruiting.



I dont know the thing ab the cars, but pat was driving a charger by the end of his time at LSU. I can attest to Kelvin being difficult. he was a tigerland goer in his early years. Some guys just grow up and realize they have a lot riding on how they perform. Kelvin really wasnt an every down player until his JR year.

When Les was hired one of the coaches was still at the facility at around 7:00 pm. Les asked him if he was a family man. When he said yes, Les asked why he was still there.

I know several of the lsu coaches, and this is total crap.

I'm not really sure why I should be excited about a post that seems to suggest that our staff will get outworked by Bama's staff? I don't care if the LSU coach is a genial family man. I'd rather a maniacal a-hole who wins multiple national championships.

The Peterson story is cool.

One that would be a poor reason not to bring him back and two I just have a hard time believing that no one could leave until Saban. Far fetched.

I heard a story about Saban and a Mercedes Dealership. Apparently either him or his wife damaged their car or someone else did, not a major accident, just a dent in the door, bumber scrape, etc. The dealer took the car and gave nicky a new one.

I talk regularly with a few members on the staff and Coach Cameron told them that during the season, they need to bring an air mattress to sleep on, sheets, and a change of clothing as well as all bath utensils needed
