re: Why did Saban not have the same type success at LSU?

seriously, you need to ask this question? Alabama is Alabama and even bad coaches win 7 or 8 games a year there. LSU had not been relevant in football in 50 years other than a good team every now and then. Don;t you remember that Alabama went 31 years without losing a game in tiger stadium? ITs apples to oranges.

Had Saban stayed at LSU it would be exactly what Alabama is today, he had them on the way to being the premier football team in the nation.
