re: SEC Mythbusters: Saban did not build LSU

quote:

---

Saban laid out a vision that no one at LSU had seen before. LSU bought into that vision and has taken it to a whole new level with Miles. But there is no denying that Saban gave LSU administration that vision.

---

1. CGD had this vision, however the adminstration did not back him with the MM$$$$ thus could not hold onto the staff that had started to "Bring back the magic" He did, however start the process of keeping the in state talent in state.
I give him 1/3 of the credit on the rebuild.


2. Dr. Mark A. Emmert laid out a vision that no one at LSU had seen before. He was able to convince the adminidtration to spend the MM$$$$ for Saban, and assure CNS that he would have the things needed to be successful.
I give Dr. Mark A. Emmert 1/3 credit.


3. Nick Saban, great coach who continued the process by building on the momentum in recruiting, and energizing a very passionate fan base. 1/3 credit.


4. Last but not least, Steward of the program, motivator of men, Les Miles.
Best coach in the Country, and it is not close.
Best coach in LSU history, bar none.
