re: When Coach Bryant almost got fired at Alabama

1) lsu won't admit it, but bama is their biggest game, and they've lost 5 straight ...
2) bear had won/shared 3 national titles and 5 sec titles that were not perceived by some to have been built on the previous coach, in addition to an undefeated season that won no national title ... he had more capital built up, though many fans still wanted him gone ...
3) bama did not lose 3 straight during those 2 years ...
4) bama's made coaching changes for less reasons than lsu's ...


lsu is completely warranted imo in wanting to part ways with less ... they, like everyone else, and bama when saban retires, want a 'home run' hire that doesn't exist (outside of fisher), but they will have to accept the risk, like bama and everyone else, of someone who is not a home run hire ...
