re: Probably Germans...but McElroy says Saban responsible for LSU Success

LSU sucess was started by Dinardo when got Kevin Faulk to sign with LSU. Nick comes along after Dinardo was ran out because of his love Lou Teppers failed defensive scheme and makes a name for himself with the talent he inhereted and brought into LSU. LSU made Nick Saban into a legend as much as Saban help keep what Dinardo started and advanced it beyond. With a compatent defensive Coordinator Dinardo would have also continued with the success he started at LSU.

Les Miles has come along after Nick Saban departure and kept the LSU football program sucessfull where it remains to this day. Les has been at LSU for almost ten years so I would say the sucess that the program currently enjoys rest squarely on Les Miles shoulders and Not Nick Saban.
