Skip would've brought Saban back to LSU

possibly the most important moment in Alabama football history took place in West Virginia.
This seems pretty myopic to me. Wouldn't Bear Bryant going home be the most important moment in Alabama football history?
Saban has been nothing short of excellent, but Bryant's impact has been felt for roughly a half century. He made Alabama a household name, built a lasting legacy for that program, and became a southern icon.
Granted, Alabama had already had a ton of program success before he came, but he took it to a different level.

Today is the 10 year anniversary of Rich Rod saying no to Alabama.
Wow, this means this is the 10 year mark I learned Sirius had a station devoted to college football or in other words, this is the day I discovered Bill King. He used to be on in the afternoons and I was traveling and that's all the show was talking about that day.

We had a different AD at the time and not the jack arse we have now.
It would have been a decent possibility if things would have fell out a little differently

Saban would never have ended up back at LSU even if rich wouldve taken bama job. Look at the way Moore went about hiring Saban. He wouldn't accept No for an answer and he paid what Sexton demanded. And it was the best investment bama has ever made. That was back in 07 and look what LSU did in '16. We hired a position coach for 2mil less than bama paid for saban 9 years ago. The brutal truth is we were a stepping stone for Saban. In a way, Saban wouldn't have ended up anywhere else, because eventually bama would end up paying whatever they needed to in order to get the best coach. LSU didn't take that approach.
If Joe Alleva would've been in that situation instead of Mal Moore, he'd have told Saban "frick you, I have someone who wants the job" and hired Houston Nutt.

Wonder who Mich would have taken the following year if that happened. It's crazy how '07 affected programs, too. I know people on here will say Les was never going to Mich, but if LSU doesn't end up in the championship game, I think he does. Instead, it results in two crap regimes at Mich, LSU gets another decade of Les, and WVU gets Stew, etc., etc.
It's odd to think how Rich Rod had a dramatic affect on 3 major college football programs in the span of 12 months.
Late 2006 - turns down the Bama job, Saban ends up at Bama
Late 2007 - loses to a bad Pitt team, which keeps his WVU team out of the NC game and allows LSU to backdoor in. Simultaneously, Les Miles, who was headed to Michigan, now can't leave LSU because he's playing for a NC.
Late 2007 - Rich Rod accepts Michigan job.
