Yes, this is more explosive. To leave an SEC team prior to a playoff appearance to go to a rival is much more explosive than SEC->NFL->SEC. Add to that social media is so much more prevalent now days and the level of outrage has increased as a result. Then season it all with Lane’s comments and tweets about Ole Miss and you have the recipe for hatred. So yeah, it is more explosive.
Can you imagine what LSU fans would have done if Saban had regularly trolled LSU his first year at Alabama like Lane has done to Ole Miss? They would have lost their minds.

Much more
Saban had gone to the NFL. Kiffin went straight to LSU.
Years had passed prior to Coach Saban returning to BR
Saban left LSU after a mediocre season and a bowl loss to Iowa
Kiffin left OM as they headed into the schools first playoff appearance.
When Saban left, LSU fans were upset but you didn’t hear the level of vitriol that we’re hearing from OM fans. If you don’t believe me, go back and look at TD’s
If Saban had left LSU the way Kiffin left OM, he would have needed real security upon his return.

I don’t know what OM fans you are talking to but we are excited about the future and if lsu wins that doesnt change that at all. We know lsu is the heavy favorite and it would be a monumental upset if OM pulls it off. But we great about the future

Monumental upset? A 2.5 point underdog?
Come on dude, quit the posturing. It is unbecoming.

It is funny LSU fans bring up the NFL as if Saban wasn’t going to Bama even if he’d stayed at LoSerU
0/10 troll attempt. Why aren’t you banned from posting on Tiger rant when the rest of the fanbases are barred from posting on other teams boards anyway?

Why did Saban never publicly advocate for Kiffin to get the Alabama job when he retired like he did for Kiffin to get the LSU job?
Posted on 9/13/26 at 10:03 pm to Who_Dat_Tiger
He’s milking LSU like every athlete that plays there(see Jayden Daniels)
If Saban liked LSU more than Bama then why just not go back in 2016?

This was not the sentiment at the time. By 2008, obviously, but not 2005.

Just feeding off y’all’s ego! I’m hoping Ole Miss can keep it close

Lane left OM when they were in the playoffs and could be very competitive in it, so this isn’t even close

Very true. The closest example in CFB for what Lane did was the Texas OL coach leaving his wife and kids for Pole Assassin

Kiffin was booed in Knoxville, and then people threw objects at him mid game
It was more of the chickenshit he pulled by having his players repeatedly faking injuries to slow down our offense than anything that happened in 2009 that got him pelted with golf balls and mustard bottles.

Even though Saban told LSU to frick OFF!!! he didn't tell them to frick OFF!!! and then have to travel to Baton Rouge the very next season, so Land to Oxford.

Saban didn't leave LSU for Bama. It's pretty well established that he inquired about the LSU job first when Miss Terry decided the NFL sucked. But Les had handled the Katrina chaos about as well as could be asked of a football coach and it would have been dirty to ditch him at that time.
Any proof of that? I ask because I've heard that Miss Terry was fine with her husband going back to college as long as it was anywhere but Baton Rouge because it was depressing to her.
He told her no matter if he had 10,000 chances to return, and he did, that he never would.
