It's not just about talent. LSU is loaded with talent minus the QB this year. It's about gameplan, execution, getting in the other teams heads, etc.

Saban on the sideline alone is worth a +3 swing just for intimidation purposes. He is the best at getting the kids to execute and putting together gameplans. Hell we just heard for 21-0, he spotted a weakness in the LSU DB technique and exploited it on offense. How many coaches are that meticulous or put in the amount of work he does?

Yes you will be loaded for a while after he leaves and the pipeline will continue to flow, but will you have the same mad scientist/savant game plans? Will the next head coach work 20 hours a day? Maybe.

Appreciate what you have while you have it, the best in the business.

TM was one of the most dynamic playmakers in football that year but even he couldn't overcome a 5'8" frame. Norwood had half a foot on him and Saban finally let AJ play the game.

Yes, LSU is loaded with talent, but when they were loaded with Saban players, Miles was able to win at a clip of: 11-2, 11-2, 12-2.

Saban retiring doesn't guarantee LSU beating Bama. Even without Saban at Bama, the Tide still owns LSU overall in head to head.
