re: We compared Kelly’s & DiNardo’s first 3 years at LSU… Today let’s do Kelly & Saban

That's BS. Saban said that the fans turn to "Chicken Little Syndrome" in that the sky is falling down every time they lose. He would get frustrated with reporters asking the same question days after a loss or injury. "It's time to move on" was a quote he used a lot.

quote:

Kelly inherited much better talent, the established recruiting advantages and support that all comes from what Saban built. The situation was much worse in 1999, the very fact that we were able to attract and pay for a coach of Kelly’s stature proves it was. No way he’d have taken this job with the situation in 1999.

right. saban took over a losing program (as did kelly) but saban is the one who changed everything here and how we operate and got money spent on upgrading facilities, etc. shite was already setup for kelly.

No they’re rehearsed platitudes you read here and just repeat. Saban inherited 15 NFL players, if you count practice squad or short career guys which I do. Kelly inherited alot more plus some 1st rounders, Saban inherited none of those.

There's a SHITTON™ of talent there.

You added a bunch of nobody’s who never did anything in college to that list but the fact remains he inherited 15 guys who at least made an NFL practice squad, zero first rounders and that’s it. You also listed guys he recruited and didn’t inherit so again you’re wrong, you don’t have a fact on your side so you continue your dishonesty.

Yea man a guy with 5 career touches and 7 starts is elite, you’ve got guys on that list who didn’t even play.

---

Who on that list did not play?

You’re not only stupid, you’re dishonest.

Wendell York was a deep snapper dumbass.

Wendell York was the starting deep snapper for three years. One roster spot for an important job.

Dunson was ill-used by Tepper. He could not do all of the things that Tepper wanted him to do. He was not a bum.


You still have not completed your task.

Already answered, even though you continue to move the goal post, use double standards and ignore reality the facts are still the same. If Saban inherited “a ton of talent” Kelly inherited an unstoppable juggernaut by any factual comparison.

Jamal hill didn’t record a stat
Shaun Wynn did not record a stat, these are defenders btw. Terry Phillips only played on the FG team. You’re labeling these guys as “loaded talent” but anybody with eyes can see you just copy pasted the roster and says “muh talent” and anybody who watches LSU knows the half the guys you listed barely played if at all. . You don’t know what you’re talking about, you’re wrong and you’ve been an emotional wreck since that’s been pointed out. Nothing you’ve said since then has been close to true.
