Saban recommended Houston to replace him at LSU for what it's worth
Hey he may not be great but he did win most of his games and won 3 SEC Coach of the year awards.

could see that over 3 years. Similar to Miles 05-07. But after that you are on your own.
I completely agree with you however like I said earlier with how things has already been established and the system that he set, it wouldnt be that hard of a stretch for anyone to maintain the current level of success because pretty much most of the hard work has already been done to an extent.

I honestly think Saban was poised for a Bama like run at LSU in 05-07. That roster was filthy like Bama's will be for the next coach.
Because he left no one realized just how good he was, or how good LSU could be. Like if he had left Bama after 2010 we would have missed this Bama dynasty.

Miles won 34 games, 2 west titles, 1 SEC title, and 1 National Championship in that 3 year stretch. I think Saban tops that and goes back to back in 06-07, and who knows what the roster would look like after that. Probably even better than 05-07.

A lot of people look at 04 and don't realize that. LSU 04 was just like Bama 10. Both lost 3 games the year after his first NC. LSUs third loss was on a Hail Mary in the bowl game after Saban had already checked out though
