Did Saban leave on a plane in the middle of the night while everyone was asleep? Did Saban have one of his assistants stay behind to tell the team that he was leaving after telling them to "hold the rope"? Yeah…I'm sure it sucks that Saban left you for the NFL. But he at least had the dignity to tell his players where he was going. Fran didn't even do that. He just upped and left without telling anyone until he accepted the job the next morning in College Station.


He strung us along for weeks then left on Christmas day for his "challenge" that he then upped and QUIT a few years later to come back to our division and compete against us after LSU gave him the chance to make the name for himself that he did and make the kind of huge money he started making.

I realize you don't care because it wasn't you just like IDGAF about Fran or any of that nonsense because it wasn't LSU. Just have a little common decency rather than act like we're the ones with the problem when you've been burned by coaches in the past too.

And you guys barely noticed Saban's departure as the 2005, 2006, and 2007 seasons so obviously indicate. Fran's departure on the other hand sent our football program into a swan dive that it didn't recover from until the 2008 season.

What Saban did to LSU is nothing compared to the shite storm we went through in the aftermath of Fran cutting and running. At least ya'll remained competitive. To say the two incidents are similar is your typical and retarded LSU hyperbole.
