"As it turns out, what I learned from that experience in hindsight was, it was a huge mistake to leave college football," Saban said. "And I know a lot of LSU fans think I left for whatever reasons, but I left because I wanted to be a pro coach, or thought I wanted to be a pro coach. We loved LSU. We worked hard to build the program. If there was one thing professionally that I would do over again, it would've been not to leave LSU."

That ignorant gump wont post in this thread again. I remember everything about when Saban left and it being a really tough decision because he and his wife loved it at LSU. That was a hard pill to swallow for LSU fans as well because we knew Saban was building a dynasty at LSU.

As an LSU fan not many other fan bases can point to a former coach that was loved returning to a hated rival and winning titles there. I dont think that we hate Saban because we knew that we had a dam great coach . We hate that fact that he ended up at bama and has had great success there when we knew that it would have been at LSU had Miami offer had not come . I still hate the Dolphins to this day because of what happened

but hey a few championships later and a HC that seems to have us pointed in the right direction takes the sting off a little.
