I don’t know why all you morons are surprised. This was all in the binder.

How many Saban hires have hit the road lately?



Most of them on to bigger better jobs.

He hired 80+ year old former coaches?

Followed or hired?

And has O proven that he can understand a variety of viewpoints, objectives, and strategies and weave them together into a cohesive vision?

Meyer was in frequent contact with both of them throughout his coaching career (up until Bruce died)

It’s going to crush it in recruiting. Hey 16-18 year old kids, ignore those trophies in Alabama and Clemson’s trophy cases and instead look over here to our head coach’s 83 year old special consultant!


Learn how recruiting works. High school coaches are influencers. Guarantee he has some connections to the CA coaching circles.

...all that being said, no one said he is here for recruiting. Maybe Coach O wants to work on his "fight me" attitude or something.

People would bitch about hiring Dave Wandstadt or Jimmy Johnson. John Robinson is a fricking legend how could having his vast experience hurt LSU?

You're trying far too hard. You think Saban melds different viewpoints, strategies, approaches, etc.? He does what he does. They still run the football and play defense. When they couldn't do that against Clemson, they got slapped around. Tua and their passing were a liability, regardless of their viewpoint, strategies and approaches. Nick and his viewpoint got punked. Maybe his approach was off. Or perhaps his strategy.

I don't see anyone saying that it hurts anything. You guys are just making stuff up.

This guy's role is benign. He's got a cushy retirement gig to watch Matlock reruns on LSU's dime. Doesn't move the needle in either direction IMO.

The short piece mentions "personnel". He won't take one of the NCAA limited recruiting slots, but he can open a lot of doors in California with letters and phone calls to HS coaches within his circle.

A healthy Tua would have caused problems for Clemson. But by the time the Natty game rolled around, Tua's legs were shot to hell - along with his timing, and his scrambling abilities.

If Tua was shot, why didn't Saban play an experienced quarterback in Hurts? He won the SEC championship for them. Did Nick actually screw it all up? He certainly didn't help.

Yes, it sure seems like Saban screwed it up. At least that's my opinion.

You obviously didn’t watch that game. It had nothing to do with how Tua played. Bamas offensive line could not slow down Clemson’s defensive line all night. They lived in the Bama backfield. They may as well had already been back there when the ball was snapped.

Might bring us some legacy kids from USC. He was always a good crooter. Also always had a great running game, maybe he can help us there too, we sure need it.
