Pretty cool story on Nick Saban, Les Miles, and Patrick Peterson.

A bit of a long story but pretty cool.

I talked to a guy in Baton Rouge who owns car shop and has been dealing with LSU people for many years now. He told me a few stories that I found pretty cool. Whenever the wives of assistant coaches came in he would ask them about the program. He said they told him when saban was at LSU no coach was allowed to leave the facility until Nick did. Also Nick tried to return to LSU after the NFL job. LSU told him no because every assistant coach said if Nick came back, they would leave because they wanted to work for Les.

When Les was hired one of the coaches was still at the facility at around 7:00 pm. Les asked him if he was a family man. When he said yes, Les asked why he was still there. He told him under saban they weren't allowed to leave until the HC did. Les told him to go home and take care of his family. Work could wait till tomorrow.

Also with regards to Patrick Peterson, he said Pat was the finest young man from LSU he ever dealt with. And he definitely was never paid to play. He drove an old Toyota at one time and he brought it into the shop for repairs that totaled around 500$. Pat couldn't pay to get it out for awhile. Still he said Pat was respectful and a pleasure to deal with. Said Kelvin Sheppard was difficult however lol.
