I'm seeing comparisons being posted that FAIL at epic proportions.
To ask how Bama fans would react if Bear Bryant had left for the pros and came back to LSU is outrageously lopsided. To compare Saban's tenure at LSU to Bryant's at Bama, and the loyalty and compassion both fanbases felt for them and their accomplishments, is just ludicrous.
If Fran came back to the SEC right now, to a Western Division team thats not a real rival, like Ole Miss, Bama fans wouldn't have anywhere NEAR the venom for him that Tigahs have for Saban. That is an absolute fact. Anyone who thinks Bama is sitting around talking about Fran even 1/100th of the time time LSU talks about Saban is kidding themselves. Even if Fran came to an actual rival, like Tennessee, it wouldn't be as bad as what I see here on a daily basis.
(The reason I didn't use Auburn for either of these comparisons is that they are OUR MORTAL ENEMIES...going back entire generations. It doesn't matter WHO coaches there, we're gonna hate 'em, even if it was Santa Claus and Mother Teresa was the DC)

Spurrier to USC
Saban to Bama.
There is a world of difference in how UF and LSU are handling the situation.

You are sooo full of shite. Naw, he just skipped over to A&M and BAMA fans were irate for a looong time. Some still are.A lot of Bama fans started a short lived little love affair with Sooner fan over an offseason or two... just so they could have some sort of connection to Fran getting his arse kicked in the Big 12.
Hell, you frickers even gave death threats to your own coach for God's sake.... so stop preaching to us.

First off, I completely agree there is way too much dislike for Saban around here. He did great things for LSU and although he jumped ship for a shot at the pros I appreciate him for what he did... not hate him for leaving sooner than people would have liked
I have a harder time with the analogy to Fran though... I don't think it terribly comparable... a better comparison might have been if Gene Stallings had left Alabama to go to LSU or Auburn after 1992
