Why was Saban more involved with the LSU coaching search than Bama's?

Kiffen, Ausberry, Multiple media people, and Saban himself.



Don't remember anybody saying they talked with Saban for advice during the DeCline hire.

Well we do know one thing, he told Byrne not to hire Kiffin! If he thinks so much of Kiffin, why wouldn’t he want him at Bama? I know why and you’ll understand in a year. Maybe two.

You know that Saban infamously wanted Nutt to replace him at LSU? I’d guess that’s why UA didn’t involve him.

"When [LSU] came in and met with me, it was just different," Kiffin said Tuesday. "The feeling was different and as I sat there and told the story at the press conference, I was torn. When I called Coach Saban and talked it through with him, he said, 'you know, Lane, you'll always regret if you don't go to LSU. It's the best job in America.' And when he said that, it really made the decision for me.

It will take generations for Louisianans to recover from the emotional damage Nick Saban wrought upon them.

Why is Saban still an employee at the University of Alabama if he loves LSU so much?

Have you ever met anyone that dated someone but married someone else? Maybe they had 5 or 6 kids together, amd they were happy. Sure they were happy, but they never quite got over that ex. That's my honest opinion on Nick Saban and LSU. Not taking shots at Bama either, but I've always gotten the feeling that LSU was the one that Sabam let get away.

First of all it’s a professional curtesy as they know each other personally. Secondly capt dip shite. If another coach was recruiting coaches to your school this jokes more on your school.

First of all that’s not how you spell courtesy in the rest of the world.

Secondly madam weak bitch, keep telling yourself how great it is that your goat idol is directing coaches and prospects somewhere else.
