Similar reaction to Saban hire
very, very false.
Saban was an unknown. he was an up and comer.
Unlike Steele, who has been a failure everywhere he's been.

horrible comparison and complete rewrite of history there bud. Saban wax successful. This guy has not been a successful DC anywhere.

He's sucked at many stops and had mental issues that affected the team. It's a terrible hire and I'm beside myself with anger
Posted on 1/13/15 at 6:29 pm to tigamike
At least Saban was an up and comer

I've been a les supporter through some tough times but this is too much. frick this shite.

We remember different reactions then! I remember a lot of criticism and angst with the hire like ...He had no SEC experience and will get killed trying to bring a big 10 philosophy to the SEC. Was mediocre except for one good season at MSU. Won't be able to recruit the south! Etc..

To be honest, nobody knew who Saban was when we hired him and we had heard every name mentioned for the job but Saban. Also, he had gotten obliterated in his three bowl games at Michigan State (including a 38-0 shutout to Stanford), so a lot of people weren't exactly fired up when we got him. Also, DiNardo beat his arse in the Indy bowl. However, it turned out to be our best hire ever.

Saban had been beaten by DiNardo in the Indy Bowl...remember.

This is exactly my point Bug EZ! The fans were "meh" with the hire!

So bitching about hiring a guy at DC who has failed at DC at two other places is synonymous with bitching about hiring a guy who was a winner at his last gig?
Saban was 58% at MichSt. Winning? Barely.

No this is pure shite. No way to spin it other than that.

No he wasn't. He was 58% at MichSt.

I'm not trying to spin anything! Just comparing the reactions. One reaction turned out to be ill founded. The other one is yet to be seen
Posted on 1/13/15 at 6:42 pm to tigamike
Ummm not so much. There was skepticism but cautious optimism w Saban. No comparison at all
Posted on 1/13/15 at 6:43 pm to Catman88
History rewrite?
Saban wax successful?
Is 58% anything to brag about?

These people are either too young or too stupid to recall correctly.
You're right. I was at LSU then and the consensus was definitely WTF? although after Dinardo's decline we were happy enough with anything.

Exactly! I hated the Nick Saban hire. We just kicked Saban and Michigan St. arse in the Indy bowl with an average team at best. I'll reserve judgement until end of season. However, he would not have been my pick. Downgrade in my opinion
Posted on 1/13/15 at 6:48 pm to LSURonin
That's what I think to Ronin! Were old farts! This is a young mans board! LOL! One of the biggest criticisms with the Saban hire was his lack of success barring one good season at MSU. If he couldn't break 60% win pct there then how was he gonna stand a chance in the SEC!
