Why is Saban even better at Bama than he was at LSU?

And he was a boss at LSU.

Is it more wisdom, more money, better staff, better school? Take your fricking pick fellas.

He rebuilt LSU's program. He didn't have to rebuild Bama's.

Saban is just being Saban. He could win chamnpionships at any high profile school.

Because everyone already knew he was a national championship caliber coach. That's how he was able to start recruiting at such a ridiculous level so quickly. That's really all there is to it.

Because he's at Bama...

Bama makes coaches better than they are.

LSU wasn't a name brand before Saban. Alabama has always been name brand.

That 6-7 record in 2006 suggests otherwise. Did you not watch the Shula years? He had one decent season where the breaks bounced his way until the last two games of the regular season. Outside of that the teams were terrible and his recruiting was pathetic.

Bama being a bit more of a name brand, maybe a little more money, having learned more and gotten better as a coach over the years, etc.

1. He had to kind of build his reputation at LSU. When he came to Alabama, he already had the reputation and clout and had immediate dramatic success in recruiting (thanks in large part to his LSU success).

2. He's become a better coach with experience.

3. Alabama football is more of a brand name than LSU football so it helps any coach that coaches there. Just the facts.

I have much more respect for Auburn after they made an extremely generous donation, somewhere around $180,000, to a players fathers church. Good Christian family theyve got down there on the plains.

I can't believe you're only the second guy to say this. That's the number one factor by a large margin.
