re: This saban stuff is real btw. Very real

Coaching searches always bring out the clout chasers.

They are throwing shite at the wall, hoping to get lucky.

Their "source" is their desire for recognition and respect, if their prediction or news ends up correct.

I don't believe any of them. . . But i will mock them mercilessly when they get exposed, as they always do.

Which is why I bookmark these threads, future fun for future Roaad.

Overall, the thread captures viral fan frenzy over a dream hire that's seen as both transformative and improbable, fueled by insider teases but lacking concrete developments.

Excitement and Support: Many users view Saban as the ultimate fix for LSU's "mess" or "circus," citing his authoritative personality to override internal politics (e.g., references to "doofus Landry" or governor interference) and potential for short-term success (2-5 years) to win more national titles. Some speculate he'd be "the top boss" and could handpick a successor, with posts like "I would take a 3-5 year deal anyday... if means potentially bringing home 2 more natties."

Skepticism and Criticism: Others dismiss the rumors as "bullshite" or "far fetched," pointing to Saban's age (74 on his birthday, coinciding with the thread's start), his public retirement statements, aversion to modern college football elements like NIL deals and the transfer portal, and his secure legacy at Alabama (e.g., statue and field named after him). Doubts about the OP's reliability arise, with some calling them a "fraud" compared to past insiders, and low probability estimates like "two percent chance."

Alternatives and Context: Lane Kiffin emerges as a frequent alternative candidate, sometimes described as a "smokescreen" for Saban or the main focus of discussions with him. Users debate Kiffin's credentials versus Saban's proven track record, while clarifying that any Saban call was likely for advice rather than direct interest in coaching. Broader talks touch on recruiting impacts (recruits reportedly more open to LSU without Kelly), dynamic rumor nature, and logistical hurdles in hires.

No Resolution: By the final page on November 2, 2025, the thread remains unresolved speculation, with users requesting "cliffs" (summaries) of the 30+ pages, mocking "clout chasers" spreading unverified info, and expressing concerns over fan disappointment if LSU settles for lesser candidates due to external factors. No major updates from the OP appear, and the conversation peters out without confirmation or denial of the "Saban stuff."

Just to remind everyone you’re the insider who didn’t know Kelly was gone when it was being leaked around 3pm last Sunday

You’re obviously very close to the inner workings

Most accurate description of the current situation.

Frankly, right now, they are very uncertain as to what to do. Hard to believe, but true.

how is that hard to believe. I expected a shite show. We have gotten what we deserve.

I heard today he's coming. I guess we'll just have to see...

No, Baton Rouge.
