I really don't understand why people think Arnsbarger was so great.
Arsparger was absolutely a great defensive coach. Every coaching staff he was a part of fielded great defenses. You should look up Miami Dolphins "No Name" defense and undefeated season. As for his record at LSU, he did very well with the talent that he had, and played Tom Osborne's Nebraska twice in bowl games, and very good Baylor team coached by Grant Teaff in the other bowl appearance.

1) Saban is revered because he stayed long enough to win it all. If he left after those three years we would be "meh...thanks?"
2)I Yes the Dolphins were amazing. John Chavis won a NC at Tennessee as DC, do you want him as a head coach. Different job.
3) Tom Osborne beat him twice. Barry Switzer was great because he beat Osborne.
4) Grant Teaff was a great guy who did more with less. Would you have been ok with losing to TCU a couple of years back? Same thing.
