This. This is THE reason.

Had Saban not been at Bama les would have been fine. I don't mean losing to Bama. I mean losing to Nick. He could have been 3-7 to Shula and been ok.

Les was in pretty good graces of LSU fans until...Nick came to Bama. At that very moment the angst of every LSU fan had to be directed somewhere. At first it was Bama, then, when miles lost to Bama it was directed at him, alleva, whomever. As long as Nick was in the NFL it was controlled anger. Once he came to a yearly opponent for LSU it was uncontrolled anger and somebody had to be the recipient of their feelings.

Once Saban became Bamas coach, somebody at LSU was on an extremely short leash if Nick started beating them.

Define for me an extremely long leash if 9-10 years is a short leash?

Never forget when that moron said something to the effect of "our new rival...fricking Alabama" after Saban was hired. I knew he was fricking toast, knew Saban was gonna bend his arse over many times. Sure enough, here we are.

I remember the "Help Mac Pack" bumper stickers when Charley Mac was losing to Bryant. We let him lose 10 years in a row before we made him retire. Times have changed and there's to much money involved to let Miles stay until he retires. The next guy's going to be a lot better. Look out Bama!

Saban became the alpha male and Les became the beta basic bitch.
