THey would have been good, no doubt. He would not have achieved what he did at Bama.

you could take John Calipari and put him as coach in Bama basketball and he would not have Kentucky success and I have no problem believing that. Part of why Saban left LSU was he knew he had a ceiling. He could have went back anytime, including right now but wouldn't He says the right stuff in the media, I enjoyed my time there, have lots of good memories blah blah but he wouldn't do it again. He won the 2003 title and probably would have won another, probably 07 he doesn't lose to UK and Arkie and won that one but I don't figure any more than those two.
When he was at LSU he had no Bama, Ole Miss or A&M to deal with and Arkie was hit or miss. State sucked all but 2000 and Florida was killing him until Spurrier left. Only Auburn, and that was not every year, was his obstacle and he still only won the SEC in 01 (with 3 losses) and 03.

If LSU was a nationally elite program they would have been so before 2000 and it would have sustained over various coaches. Saban is not the first ultra successful coach at Bama. LSU is not gonna be dominanat for any period of time and guys see that when they get the job. Hell, even Dietzel got left town for the Army job.

Alabama is the Notre Dame of the SEC if Saban were to have never coached at Alabama.
Alabama benefits from Saban, not vice versa.
He could have done what he's doing almost anywhere.

There aren't as many Dodge dealerships in LA, so you're probably right.

So what you're trying to say is that it's not Saban that makes Bama great, but rather Bama that makes Bama great.

That has to be the most gump thing that has been said in a long time.

Saban is arguably the greatest college coach ever. He would make nearly any team he went to great.

You dumb

I don't know anyone that does. LSU ain't Alabama, after all. Not even close, really.

He would've built a dynasty at many schools, including LSU.

I don't think Saban was going to stay there too long because it is a much more flashy type of town than is Tuscaloosa. There are flamboyant colors and funky threads all over in Louisiana. In TT, there is a more conservative fan base down there amongst the preppies wearing He-Man style haircuts and what not. More of Saban's speed.

I'm probably one of the only LSU fans that doesn't think he would have. There are a lot of fans that are still like lost puppies, hoping daddy will come home.

With the current state of this league. He would have built a Dynasty at Tulane. He has many resources that other coaches are unable to obtain.

Wait...your troll is that your future first-ballot Hall of Fame coach couldn't have gotten better?

I can't wait for this election to be over. It's making everyone talk nonsense.

bama was desperate and willing to go all in with saban. lsu wasnt to that point yet. I bet he could build a dynasty there now. those mf'ers would sacrifice children to a saban statue for a couple titles now. saban and bama have done a total mind frick on lsu.

Where is the proof that Saban would have been able to build this dominant program at LSU?


All the championships he's won at Bama is proof enough for me.
