You just flat out sound like half of the people who show up for the party, tailgate, and give their ticket away. Little to no understanding of the game of football, or just enough to sound like it. And, that's OK, because it takes all types to support the kind of programs that win NC's.

Jimbo is hands-on with the most important position on the field. For you to even ask why would people be excited about that puts you in a category of posters I rarely even bother to give a response, but it needs to be said.

Jimbo developed 3 QBs that won NC's with 3 different head coaches. Think about that. Really let that sink in. And while you're thinking about it, go ahead and put that Crimson A on his hat in a couple of years and think about him kicking your team's arse for the next 10 after that.

Before the season started the SECN had a round table with head coaches and were asked, "Outside of the QB position, what is the most important position on the field?" Without hesitation, Saban responded, "QB!" Yes, Saban is a defensive guru, but don't forget, he won a high school state championship playing QB. The man knows what it takes to win, and he knows how to find someone who can coach that position.

Better question is why would Jimbo seriously want to come to LSU?

The man has already won a NC and is winning the last 4 yrs at a rate of 93%. What can he do at LSU that he is not already doing at Fla. St? Please don't say it's cause of money. That doesn't make sense either. LSU can put out 25 mil to pull a deal like this off, but Fla. St couldn't put out 3-4 mil. to keep the guy???

I never saw this type of play at this point in time taking place, but who knows what really happened.
