That's a stupid, inaccurate sentiment.
Saban voluntarily left LSU for Miami.
After 2 years, he decided that the college game was more suitable for him. Alabama just happened to be open at that time, and he took that job.
What some LSU fans are actually expressing is envy and anger towards what Saban has accomplished at Alabama because it has pushed LSU back to being the second best program in the West. LSU is no longer the flagship of the conference. 21-0 appears to have pushed back LSU even further. LSU nearly settled things in 2012 but failed. 38-17 the following season didn't help LSU's cause. The LSU program still has the bitter taste of 21-0 in their mouths and Alabama has added 2 more soul-crushing losses to LSU's slate since then. The gap between the programs is immeasurable. LSU fans are probably longing for the days of being the best again.
