re: Was hiring Nick Saban the worst decision in LSU football history?

In this alternate universe, Saban wouldnt have left Alabama without achieving success, so assuming that he won a championship in year 2 or 3 and he did jump to the NFL, flamed out after a year or 2, it would all depend on timing and which high profile college jobs were open.

Due respect, but LSU would most likely still be without a national championship since the 50’s, so i would think that if Saban left the NFL in 04 or 05 (assuming the Ron Zook tenure in Gainesville still occurred), Florida would have been a much more appealing/ideal program to resurrect. He certainly would have been a better candidate at the time than a Natty-less Urban Meyer.
