Devil's advocate moment
I feel like both LSU AND Alabama fans often forget, this is a BUSINESS. The coaches aren't fans.
It's their job and they do what they think needs to be done. The fact that they don't answer to the same consequences as the students do isn't their fault, its the batshit NCAA rules that students have next to zero. Fran had to make everyone "hold the rope" because he was being paid to do so and to his credit, didn't lead us on by signing a huge contract (he was a midwest guy too). Alabama was going to be on probabtion for years and still under a bowl ban and our recruiting was AWFUL and this was ALL before the 2002 campaign kicked off. I would have been secretly looking for a new job if everything was seemingly going against me. No one knew we'd actually be kind of good that year. Saban did what every college coach has seriously thought about as some point, head to the NFL and when that turned sour, another elite college program, close to his recuriting ties and region, was hiring... with the right offer it was a no-brainer.
Hey and all of that is fine. The only problem I have is the Alabama fan who in one breath bitches about Fran and in the other tells LSU they are wrong to be pissed at Saban.

Since when have I ever told you not to be pissed at Saban?

Fran doesn't bother me as much anymore since, A) it's in the past B) look at how he turned out at aTm... I know Shula wasn't a world beater but we never reached Aggie's level of hell. C). 3 BCS titles later kinda washes all the hurt away
