Saban never had back to back 10 win seasons at LSU

At Alabama he had about 16 in a row..

So who made who?

Honest question: if Saban had never come to LSU, does Alabama hire him?

Does LSU go on a run of about 20 8 win seasons in a row, with 3 natties and another appearance, jumping from mid-SEC to Top 5 overall in that timeframe, without his being hired?

I'm not trying to say he was better here, or that LSU is a better program than Bama (which isn't the point of this thread). I'm saying him coming to LSU was what launched the SEC to it's current dominance of the sport, and directly impacted a number of programs, Bama included.

It's both. You need a school willing to put in the resources and you need a coach that knows how to properly use them.

LSU has kept up it's side since Saban and that's why they keep having at least moderate success.
