How different would this conference be if Saban had never come to LSU?

Would LSU, Alabama and Auburn have ever achieved the levels of success they have each achieved since 2001? Would Urban Meyer still be at Florida and running the conference? Who would be up and who would be down?

Tennessee would have had at least one more NC.

That's hard to say. Several factors are different since he last coached at Michigan State. I am truly grateful that he turned LSU around.

Looks like I started a chain reaction.

As much as it pains my old arse to say it, you're going too far back in time. Why not ask what would the SEC be like if Spurrier never got the head job at Florida? What if Bear Bryant thought Texas A&M was good enough for him and his family?

Truth is, there's not a lot today that would exist if Saban hadn't gone to LSU.

As for 2000-2005, LSU probably hires someone else that builds them into a respectable program. The area was too ripe for recruiting for LSU to say in their 90s version.

Old Miss would have won the SEC in 2003. That's the only part that matters to me.

So Saban made the SEC?


Ok

Spurrier was still a great coach when SABAN was at LSU


I think it's ever more funny that an Ole Miss booster in memphis, one that takes in underprivileged 6'8 monsters.
