No one said LSU was a bad job, but it certainly wasn't a destination job like it is now. Saban isn't solely responsible for that, but he definitely had a little bit to do with it, and LSU fans should at least appreciate that.


Appreciating what he did for the program is one thing, giving him the majority of the credit for the success we've had over the last nine years is something else.

LSU is one of the elite jobs in the country in the country now. 15 years ago, that wasn't the case. Saban and Miles both deserve tons of credit for that.

The majority of the credit? Of course not.

Some of the credit? Without a doubt.

Let's put it this way: Alabama's next coach, just like Les Miles has, will have to deal with his own special type of pressure - the pressure created by following a winning coach. That being said, I'd rather follow a winning coach at a winning program, than a Derek Dooley-type coach at a program that is fading into obscurity. Bare cupboards aren't easily overcome.
