Or Nick shouldn't have said he was leaving every damn year. But hey let's worship the guy that has done everything to beat LSU since that was the program in their way.

At the end of the 2006 season, may people thought LSU was the best team in the nation. Our only losses were road losses to #3 Auburn and eventual NC Florida. After the Florida loss, LSU went to Knoxville and beat #8 UT - only the 2nd win in Knoxville ever for LSU, beat #5 Arkansas in Little Rock and beat #11 Notre Dame in the sugar Bowl. They closed the 2006 season with 7 straight wins and and finished #3 in the AP and Coaches poll. Miles 22-4 record matched Saban's best 2 consecutive seasons.
Saban was coming off a 6-10 NFL season, a last place finish in the AFC East and a reputation of being difficult to work with and never staying any place more than 5 years. With Miles success, all of a sudden what Saban accomplished in Baton Rouge wasn't so impressive. Skip didn't want to deal with having to have his head football coach being poached every year and Jimmy Sexton's fricking games.

Yeah sure, in the midst of an 11 win season we're going to fire the coach. No self respecting program would've done that.
