re: If you ever doubted the respect other fan bases have for saban

Pretty clever move by Arky IMO. If they get Les (unlikely), then great. Home run hire. If Les isn't interested (likely), then his agent probably still uses the offer to get him more $ from LSU which means less $ they have to spend on assistant coaches and facility upgrades.

Les leaving LSU for Arky would be a real head-scratcher but no coach does more head-scratch worthy things than the Hatter.
