LSU sucked and Louisiana's best recruits went out of state. Saban is a great coach and made LSU and elite destination program.

2. Explain why Saban is successful at Bama after 7 years of meh.


Saban is a great coach.
Saban may be a great coach, but he only created the potential LSU could reach. Other than the BCS title, his LSU teams finished at or below 10th in the rankings. He never ran off a string of seasons like Les has here; he's done that at Alabama (which most people agree, it's an easier place to do it at if you have the ability).

Les would be at least as good at Alabama as Saban, I suspect. And a hell of a lot easier to deal with.

This is ridiculous. Saban is the best coach in college, but sustaining success is almost as tough as building a program from scratch. Miles deserves more credit than he will ever get, but with the volatility of LSU fans he's going to be bashed no matter what.

how exactly is it easier to do at alabama? Small population state and has to share state recruits with another major football school in state
