Actually thought the Saban hire was the best in years. He had brought michigan state back from friggin nowhere. I don't think people remember how bad they were pre Saban. I had no doubt LSU would no longer be an automatic w.

Why are fans completely delusional? Pearls had as good or better results than Saban did. The '94 season he went 5-6, and the NCAA found nothing on him after 2 investigations, but the university self imposed forfeiting his 5 wins and then fired him. Saban came down south where he got LSU brass to give him all the added staff, build new complexes, and learn where the true hot bed of recruiting is in the south. He already had this mastered when he took the Bama job. As he gets older and grows more tired, he hires more and more "associates, advisors and staff". He was never afforded that at Michigan State. LSU is where he truly became the coach he is now with the total package of recruiting, staffing and complexes for athletes.
