LSU lives in your head rent-free

You gave away your succession dynasty, Lane could've been yours to follow Nick but you were too self-righteous and pretentiously sanctimonious to bring him back

Now you're stuck with Kalen Dubose and Ryan No Run Game Grubb

LSU won this war, get ready for Lane and CWJ to frick everyone in the SEC in the arse RAW


In no way whatsoever, in any world, under any circumstance did Bama ever entertain Lain being head coach at Alabama.

Once it was known what he was and how he was, Lain's dream of being head coach at Alabama was never even close to being materialized.

You'll learn. Everyone does. Whatever war coonasses seemingly believe Alabama lost by not hiring Lain is a purely fictional aberration in their own rotten brains.

Cope!

He almost left your arse for Texas too but retreated back once word got out and Alabama brass panicked, that was real, he would've done it so cope and spread your cheeks


Nick Saban, a fiercely independent and strong willed man with not seemingly a cowardly bone in his body somehow, according to coonass crawfish revisionist logic, withered in fear when he found out Alabama brass knew he wanted to go to Texas?

Hmmm. Saban has always adamantly denied this and has stated that it was all just rumors. Maybe Sexton used a ploy to get Saban a raise at Alabama but, even this is not confirmed by any sound information other than chatter.

Saban literally said his biggest career regret was leaving LSU. He will spend the rest of his life wishing he’d never left Baton Rouge.

He ask Skip Bertman about coming back in 2006, but Les was rolling.


First of all, Saban never asked anyone about coming back; that is just another iteration of the LSU Crawdad Daydreaming Phenomenon.

Secondly, and this point is far to nuanced for anyone in the state of Lousiana to be able to comprehend, Saban said he regretted leaving LSU only in the context of him regretting leaving college football in general.

He wasn't lying prostrate in bed at night, for 17 years, gently weeping and reminiscing about his time at LSU and wishing he could smell the sweet aroma of raw sewage wafting over the Baton Rouge campus again.

You people are comical. Saban loved us; he never wanted to leave us and we will always be his only real soulmates.

He discovered he derived no enjoyment from coaching in the NFL.

quote:

Direct Quote: Saban said, "When I left LSU, that was probably professionally the biggest mistake that I ever made," noting that he discovered he preferred coaching in college because it allowed for deeper personal, academic, and athletic player development compared to the NFL.


Context: After five successful seasons at LSU, where he won a national championship, Saban moved to the NFL but returned to college football after two seasons with the Dolphins to take the Alabama job.

He has clarified that his regret is specifically about leaving the college game, not necessarily about his time at LSU itself.

He went back to LSU several times on the other sideline. Subject is weak.

I realize Alabama fans generally aren't working with a full deck but when you post the same menstruations day after day, you're going to get the same responses.

Albert Einstein would define the expectation of anything else as insanity, which is probably a good description of many of your kind.

Snap out of it, Repeat. You are in a loop again. Repeat, can you understand the words I'm typing?

Saban loves Alabama. He supports Lane at LSU. Why do people have to complicate things that are obvious?

sounds like a forced “clarification” the higher ups at Bama begged Saban to make. I’ve heard from close friends of Saban in BR that he never felt completely at home in Tuscaloosa like he did in BR due to T-town being very Bible Belt and Saban being such a devout Catholic. He was at home in BR, so I understand the regret, that he lives with, of leaving.

Forever to be associated with the University of Alabama, Nick Saban held all of college football by the throat for 17 years.



This coach put on the greatest 17-year run in modern college football history. He could squeeze every ounce of talent out of every season to the point that it was uncanny. But the man who left coaching was not the guy who came to Tuscaloosa.

That person was transient and thought of himself as a builder, a recruiter, not a caretaker of a mega program. When that changed, finally, he might have even surprised himself with the complete dominance that he had for so long. He just kept stacking great class on top of great class.

Make no mistake, it took ALABAMA to make him what he is. It was the perfect storm of time, circumstance, and opportunity to create this monster. And for 17 seasons, he was everyone's worst nightmare in college football. And my biggest regret: it should have been Bryant-Saban Stadium, not Field.

Yet he told Kiffin that LSU was the greatest place in college football to go and coach, and that he would never regret his decision

Well now you're stuck with Kalen Dubose and Ryan No Run Game Grubb, you could've had the best offensive mind in the game who openly campaigned for the job after Nick retired

You eschewed him for a guy who can't run the ball and whose offensive line got absolutely trampled by Michigan in the natty game, congratulations. You might go a decade without a natty now.

O has too much LSU in him to even think about going to Bama

But you're right, they considered Dubose, Lanning, and fricking Mike Norvell when literally the best offensive mind in the sport was only a few hours away and coached the Bama offense UNDER SABAN and they didn't even give him consideration

Insanity but LSU's gain

You can spend the rest of your life denying reality but that situation was real and basically a done deal, he was going to Texas until word leaked and the Bama brass panicked and gave him whatever he wanted to stay

That's fact and reality, deal with it

Ohh, close friends of Saban sauces; that's better than just about any other sauce. You are really connected.

I bet you and all these close confidants of Saban's discussed all this Protestant vs. Catholic religious divide than Saban could never overcome while downing a couple of cases of Milwaukee's Best out beside the swamp shack roasting some ditchbugs over the rubber tire fire.

Tell us some more of the deep insights you have into Saban's personality.

On the other hand, not in lunatic head space, Saban has denied this situation occurred in any way whatsoever. Even after leaving Alabama he has still denied it.

So, instead of coonass conspiracy land crazy idiot thinking about how things REALLY are, I'll just trust Saban himself.
