Oh and this
is just comical. The construction on Tiger Stadium's expansion from 79k to 92k began in 1999

HOLY MOTHER OF GOD, TennesseeJed just accidentally posted something that makes sense!
What happened? Is this like the proverbial monkey banging on a piano an infinite amount of time eventually playing Beethoven?

Did anyone consider Saban to be the best coach in college football when he was still at MSU? I sure don't remember it if they did.
No one said LSU was a bad job, but it certainly wasn't a destination job like it is now. Saban isn't solely responsible for that, but he definitely had a little bit to do with it, and LSU fans should at least appreciate that.

I will be afraid that some of the boosters and money people might try to get back in and screw things up again so they can sniff some jock straps.

Momentum can vary you a long way. If bama gets an adequate coach after saban we will still be highly successful. Saban has vastly improved the ongoing appeal of the program which will pay dividends in the future

Appreciating what he did for the program is one thing, giving him the majority of the credit for the success we've had over the last nine years is something else.

LSU is one of the elite jobs in the country in the country now. 15 years ago, that wasn't the case. Saban and Miles both deserve tons of credit for that.

The majority of the credit? Of course not.
Some of the credit? Without a doubt.
Let's put it this way: Alabama's next coach, just like Les Miles has, will have to deal with his own special type of pressure - the pressure created by following a winning coach. That being said, I'd rather follow a winning coach at a winning program, than a Derek Dooley-type coach at a program that is fading into obscurity. Bare cupboards aren't easily overcome.

I will not argue that Saban is not the best college football coach in the country. He is and anyone else is a distant second in my opinion.
That being said..Saban was not the coach at LSU that he is at Bama. He was damn good and one of the best, but he himself has improved over the years. He averaged 3.5 losses per year at LSU. We lost some ugly games that we clearly should not have (ex: UAB) and were blown out on several occasions. Even LSU fans have selective memory when it comes to Saban. You would think he never lost a game at LSU.
Les has been at LSU 8 years now. Most people say he owes all his success to Saban even after 8 years. It hasn't been pretty the whole time, but he has been a winner and has averaged less losses each year than Saban's time. Saban did a lot at LSU, but it's ridiculous for him to get all the credit for the last 8 years.

Saban will earn 11 million a year as he heads to the Horns! Believe it!

Great recruiting is what has keep LSU strong. Some years maybe a little too good causing everyone to bolt to NFL last year. Even Miles haters admit he is a great recruiter. Parents love him. He is typically a good motivator too.
Play Caller not so much, but if you know shite about college football, (Which you obviously do not) you would know that it is as much about the Jimmys and Joes as the X's and O's.
If Miles lands his major targets this year they will have a top three if not number one class again, and be back in top five within a year

Miami doesn't have anywhere near the amount of resources that Bama has. They hired Coker because he was the cheapest guy they could get. Also, they struggled in the '90s because they got hammered by the NCAA after the Pell Grant scandal. Once the sanctions wore off, it didn't take long for them to become dominant again.
