Take a look back since Saban took over the program. We have had seasons where we struggled to win 8-9 games. Saban even had struggles in that time frame. We always seemed to rebound back.I am looking forward to the day we rebound and leave all you life boat seekers adrift.

Go tigers!!!!

Saban had to rebuild

The point of hiring O was to avoid a rebuild




Holy shite

I hear ya! This is not however a this year fix. The offensive line is terrible blame O and Canada for running off 6 players, blame Les for being a stubborn arse, blame whoever bottom line until we get better on the line of scrimmage we are not contender.

Nothing other than winning will stop some of these folks from melting. Even then, a few will still swear that it's the end if LSU.

This is even more discouraging.

Saban of 20 years ago is better than Ed Orgeron is now. That Saban is likely better than Orgeron will ever be.

That tells you how difficult it is to manage a program even for a great coach like Saban and you can't just sub in any old coach and expect results just because the infrastructure is outstanding.

The life boat is that Sumlin, Butch, Beleimia, McElwain, Malzahn, are coaches in the SEC. All of which are on the hot seat. Yes Saban is a coach too, but who is expecting to win that game.

You comparing O to Saban?

Everyone knew Saban was a rising star. Everyone knows O is a fricking idiot who shouldn't be a HC in the SEC

I don't think you're supposed to say that. No one is supposed to mention his '02 dead asleep in Game One vs VPI and getting stomped by Auburn and Alabama that year. The '04 beatdown by Georgia and the last second wins vs Oregon State,Florida,Ole Miss and Troy really never happened.

You're supposed to say Saban took over a team with no talent,no potential starter for DII team and went 13-0 every season.

No the life boat is recruiting. Saban recuits like no other. If we are to get better it has to start there. This is O s first real recuiting year so lets see. So far I would say he has a ways to go.

Amazing this comparison continues to be brought up. It's. Not. The. Same. At. All.

Saban took over a dumpster fire at LSU. Coach O took over an LSU team with consistent top 10 recruiting classes. There is a vast difference. Also, Saban had more HC experience than O.
