How important was Nick Saban for LSU?

Can't say anyone made A&M's football program because they never had much of one to begin with

Maybe that day will come when you finally get over the jump

He built the program. Without Saban '03 and '07 do not happen.

Saban was everything for them.

Nick Saban made the LSU football program.

bull shite. nick saban lost an average of3 games a year at LSU. he did, however, win a national championship and that is something I doubt your school ever has.

I do not deny that Saban was important to the history of LSU tho, even tho he was only there 5 years. what he taught the administration and TAF was you can't go cheap on hiring HC's, which LSU had pretty much done for a long time. the TAF stepped fund raising up big time and LSU is one of the top football teams in the country because of it.

He returned our program to national relevance. He started the cash cow we have today. He started the facility arms race that we see now throughout the country. I thank him for a whole lot of LSU's success. Just sucks for us that he returned to a division rival.

He won with DiNardo's players. We were on a decline when he left. We had 4 fewer wins and 2 more losses between 03 and 04. Also, even with his best team at LSU, he lost to Ron Zook at home and the offense scored 0 points in that game.

Yes.....he righted the ship'
LSU GrandDad is the best!

Retroactive national championships are not true national championships

They are revisionist history championships

I see that re writing history has become an art form in College Station

Also, Les got fired when in his last five full years, he actually had a better winning percentage than Saban did in his five years (50-15 v. 48-16). So I can only assume that Saban would have been shitcanned just like Les for being so mediocre.

You are embarrassing yourself....
And have a history of scuminess

The Aggies have not beaten any of the following LSU head coaches since their last victory over LSU during the Hallman era:
