re: Why do people believe Saban would have built a dynasty if he had stayed at LSU?

Probably because the team was stacked from 2005-2007. Les Miles won 10+ games and a NC in those years, I think most people feel Saban could have too. Then imagine 2011 without Saban at Alabama.

I don't think we would be some unstoppable machine like Bama currently is, but at the same time i think he would have won at least 1 more probably 2 national championships by now.

The LSu Saban took over was trash and he won a 2 SEC Championships and a NC in his first 4 years here. The guy who took over the team went 35-6 in the next 3 years. So unless you think Miles did something Saban couldn't have done, i think we were about to get rolling.
