Could Saban do something special with our O and D Lines?

Oline is young and lacks depth.
Dline hindered with injuries and absences and lacks depth.

If Saban took the exact roster over that did Coach O, the discipline issue may arguably be better for penalties...I'd buy that, to some extent.

But, based on talent ON THE 2017 roster, and not magically claiming he would have much better lines and depth....How many wins would be expected?

Could the best college coach alive improve our team, including our lines?

Lacks talent too. Coach O has been recruiting at LSU since 2015.

DL will be fine in the long run. Just needs some more depth.

Holy frick, get over it bro Saban ain't ever coming back!!!! Your exercise is futile because it doesn't matter Saban isn't coming back to LSU so why don't you give a useful example.

OLine has 1 freshmen playing and 4 people in their 3/4/5th year.

That's not young.

You could say depth is an issue because they should all be back ups.

Edit: had to add a not.

If Saban were the coach, we wouldn't be in the position we are now. #1 he wouldn't have gotten lazy & quit recruiting to leave LSU in the hole it is in now. #2 Grimes would not be the O-line coach; that in itself would be a major improvement.

The facking Saban obsession on this board is astonishing. Can't make it one day without several hypotheticals involving Saban and LSU.

With Saban you would know that the team is coached by a man who's resume speaks volumes and that good times are definitely ahead.

I don't know if he could make this team win a title, but I feel confident saying he would not have this team lose by 30 to Mississippi State.

We wouldn't be in this position depth wise under tProcess.

The shitty assistant coaches that let us down in recruiting also wouldn't have been here.

Sign 4 of the best OL and 4 of the best DL in the nation for next year

He went 8-4 and 6-6 his first year at LSU and Bama, followed by conference and divisional titiles. Top 3 classes entered both programs in those second seasons

Jimmys and Joes

LSU 01 class: big time contributors
-Hill
-Spears
-Oliver
-Whitworth
-Niswanger

Bama 08 class: big time contributors
-Dareus
-Square
-Cody
-Jones
-Love


LSU 2014 (still contributing)
-Clapp
-Brumfield
-Godchaux (early entry)

LSU 2015 (still contributing)
-Key * (olb but signed as DE)
-Weathersby
-Magee

Where's the beef?

If we had Saban, we wouldn't have to play against Saban, so we almost certainly win more games this year.
