Where did Saban coach before LSU? Was it Michigan St.? If he's such a great coach, why didn't he stay there and win some NCs? Seems like he just got lucky and benefited from being at 2 schools that are perennial power houses and provide enough in state talent to win NCs.
If he was so great, how in the hell did he lose to Hugh Freeze a girl's basketball coach? Twice?

Not the change the topic but here is an anonymous quote from an SEC coach on the job opening:
Athalon Sports Link
So to answer the questions on if we could have hired more qualified coaches the answer is yes.. but no roll the dice up and coming coach is worth a 6 or 7 year contract. And in MS the longest contract legally allowed is 4 years, so I don’t know if we could have offered anything they needed to come.

”There were some really qualified coaches who wanted that job, but only with a significant commitment to security. I’m talking six or seven years of commitment. I truly believe that’s why Matt (Luke) was retained. It’s easy to move on from him once it hits rock bottom. And I don't say that lightly because I really enjoy Matt. He’s a good guy who’s in an untenable situation."
