I don't always stick up for Saban when something goes wrong,or is perceived to have gone wrong (honestly,he brings a lot on himself),but the Michigan State assistant coaches staying in East Lansing instead of flying to Baton Rouge to join him at LSU is misleading and honestly not accurate at all.

Correct me if I am wrong (and I am sure someone will

) but when Saban decided to leave for LSU,the Michigan State president (chancellor ?)and others weren't that fired up about Bobby Williams being the new HC. The only way he would agree to hire him,and remove the 'interim' was if the existing staff would all stay and coach for Williams.

LSU didn't have a limousine outside the Mich State coaches offices waiting to wisk them to a chartered 747 to Baton Rouge. I'm not even how accurate the 'empty plane' story is. Probably some corporate jet ,either LSU's or 'loaned' picking up some of Kristen's Barbie dolls or something,and oh by the way if any of you guys want to look around LSU ,come on down.

Saban steps it enough with his abrasiveness without myths exploding.

It was the TAF plane (i think) and was sent up to retrieve any assistants that wanted to come to LSU. You know the rest of the story. Don't know about the Williams/chancellor part of the story, but it is telling that not a single assistant got on the plane.
Kind of makes you wonder why they sent the plane
at all?
