Would you prefer Saban signing Brees...

thought of this last night during the game...and I am torn on it.

Saban signs Drew Brees, he doesn't go to Bama, and the Saints don't get Brees, Saints don't win the SuperBowl...Miles has one maybe 2 more national championships as a result?

Personally, I'm glad the way things worked out. If Saban had gotten Brees he would probably still be there with Drew...but who knows.

As a Saints and LSU fan, getting the Saints a Superbowl win was huge...but having 4 NC's would be awesome too.

Yes

I don't give a shite about the Saints, and in that scenario Saban doesn't go to Bama making LSU second fiddle to Bama.

Yep. Brees to Miami, Saban stays put. I'll pull for the Saints, but pro football is basically irrelevant to me other than something to kill time on Sunday afternoon.

Man, frick the Saints.

frick em hard. They could never win another game again if it would give LSU another title.

Saban needs to still be in Miami.

Holy shite Lacour, we actually agree.

I'm also a Dolphins fan so I wouldn't mind having Drew in Miami. Double whammy.

i think if Brees goes to Miami but Saints still get Sean Payton, Payton wouldve found a QB for his system to work

I dont think it wouldve been as successful as Brees running it, and Saints may not have a superbowl win, but they would be successful

i usually hate "what if" type questions but that one's pretty good.

Saban took the Dolphins job with the understanding that he had the final say on basically everything. His defenders will tell you that the Miami doctors and others made the choice on Brees' shoulder for Saban and he had no choice in the matter while the Saints had superior medical knowledge and skill than the Dolphins and knew he'd be okay.

ETA: got crossed up between culpepper and brees' injuries

LSU success means more to me than the Saints. I put 4 1/2 years of my life into LSU therefore it will always come first. IMO

So Drew Brees basically fricked over LSU?

How anyone can care more about pro sports than their university is beyond me

Pro sports are garbage for the most part

Nfl is the best of them but it's still just meh

Yeah, I lean way towards LSU...I don't think getting multiple SuperBowls from the Saints will do more for me than winning the first one...but LSU winning a NC is a whole different thing...
