You're exaggerating my argument to its extreme to try to prove your point,

Yeah
But it's a valid point

You admit to building a straw man and then say it’s a valid point.

Solid work.

Keep telling us all how probation has no impact though.

Listen kid, if you want to fantasize that the only reason Saban went 7-6 was because of penalties years earlier, knock yourself out.

I can't talk sense to someone who's that biased.

Hey, at least the fantasy keeps you from admitting you were wrong

*high five*

Well Saban won the NCG in year 3 Do you know who did even better? Gene Chizik. Do you know how?

---

Yes, $180,000.00.

Then proceeded to go 8-5 and 3-9.

This is what he does, he can’t debate the actual arguments so he creates fake arguments to make himself feel like he’s making points.

Roger you should list the players that saban inherited that went on to the nfl. Then list the players from ulm that went. Saban actually inherited a lot of talent. Not near as much as he turned the program into, but I believe there were over 15 players that would go on to be drafted from that 6-6 team. Ulm, not so much.

Seemed to do a good job of turning a 3-9 LSU team into an 8-5 team in 12 months.

But what do I know I’m just some drama queen

I'm pretty sure that the 3 and 9 team wasn't that bad. Dinardo had lost the team. I think Hal Hunter took the team to Arkansas and beat them pretty bad in the last game.

In fact I remember the LSU players telling the Arkansas players that we're about to beat you so bad. Those are my memories of the time.


Here's a excerpt from an article of the time. By the way, team leadership was asked who should start at QB and they chose Rohan Davey over Booty.


Maybe it's just a cosmetic thing, but games like this show the value in a season-ending win for a fan base. Hitting the offseason with a good taste in your mouth is a positive, and I think we've seen that the last few years as well. We all knew LSU was a bad team in '99, but after this game it at least felt like there was enough talent on hand to be better. Of course, nobody had any idea how the search for DiNardo's replacement would turn out

quote:

---

Just for reference when Saban got to LSU he inherited 11 NFL players, when Miles arrived at LSU he inherited 31.

---

And when Orgeron got to LSU he inherited one offensive starter from 2016’s recruiting class. More offensive players left LSU never to play for a P5 program than to become starters at LSU.

quote:

---

Wrong again just like the first 75 times you posted this.

---

No he's not wrong. One guy played on the offensive line from the 2016 class. Another WR but he's not a starter. I don't know if some were processed or they left on their own but LSU lost several offensive linemen when O took over.
