Saban at LSU fits outside the 10 year time frame. However, if it does count, that hire easily trumps Saban being hired at Alabama for several reasons. One, LSU was a much harder place to win at the time. Every coach since Bryant had at least one 10 win season during their time at Alabama. Bama's struggles were entirely of its own doing. LSU never got hammered by the NCAA. They were just flat out bad. Two, Saban was a relative unknown at the time. I remember Brent Musburger pimping him pretty hard on ABC and there was the legendary upset at Ohio State but nobody really knew how good he was at that time. Bama got a proven commodity when they hired Saban.

I'm goin with Saban at both Bama and LSU....

I would go with Saban at LSU b/c he was sort of an undiscovered talent. You knew what you were getting when he went to BAMA

If Saban to LSU is eligible, then that is the only choice. He made the program.

1.) Meyer
2.) Saban
3.) Mullen

Mullen has Mississippi State headed in the right direction and i believe they will be really good in the near future.

There is some great parking spots open in the lower middle section next to the stadium.

Who is the only coach to win 2 National Tylas at the same school in the last 10 years?

Not as impressive as winning two at separate schools.

You are right about that ... Petrino is a great coach and will do big things at Arkansas

Meyer is obviously not on the same level as Saban and Miles when you consider that he couldn't do anything with a team in this league sans Tebow.
