I don't understand how our fans don't understand this.

The Alabama he took over was a little further along than the LSU he took over. That's number 1.

Second, he hadn't established his name yet so he couldn't recruit at the insane clip day 1 when he started at LSU. He had just started to string together number 1 recruiting classes in 03 and 04, so they never quite ripened under his direction.

If Saban had stayed to actually coach up those talented rosters and continue stringing together these classes, no doubt LSU would be sitting as the dynasty of the 2000's right now with about 3 extra championships than we have now.

Exactly. DiNardo started the process but Saban basically had to build LSU's infrastructure.

Alabama was already pretty much a turnkey operation once they got a coach worth a damn.

He was a failed NFL coach who quit after two years when he took over at Alabama.
