No, I'm not because the situation with Saban is completely different.


Different to you because it wasn't Alabama.

not the same at all. Fran would have had to leave for A&M and then come back and coached Auburn.


but yeah, Fran left Alabama in sanctions, with little talent left and really little hope. Saban left LSU as one of the top schools in the country with the groundwork laid out for more championships.

No…different to me because the situations were different. It is well documented that Saban left LSU with some reluctance and it is well documented that Fran was actively trying to leave Alabama as early as November 2001, all the while keeping everyone in the dark about his true feelings while encouraging the upperclassmen to stay onboard while he himself was waiting for the right moment to abandon ship.

You can call me a hypocrite all you want but you'll still be just as wrong every time you do so.
