LSU fans claiming Nick Saban is like Kentucky fans claiming Bear Bryant.

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.


Lane Kiffin is mentally stunted, some say mentally retarded in some ways, and has the reasoning skills of a teenager and behaves much like a teenager in more ways than one.

His ability to somewhat run an offense is offset by his many, many negatives that you will soon be talking about when you turn against him, with the rest of the LSU fanbase.

Then comes the inevitable rewrite of things as having never wanted him in the first place and everyone is glad he is gone. Everyone but LSU fans can already envision what is going to happen. It's going to be really funny.

Great analogy.

I bet there are still children of Kentucky fans who were alive at that time that can tell us that Bryant loved Kentucky more than anywhere else because he loved the smell of horseshite and bluegrass.

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


Saban was talking to Kiffin as a loving father talks to a child that has a learning disability. Lane, due to mental issues, has great difficulty making decisions, especially good ones.

He wanted his retard child to succeed, just not at Alabama because no one, including Saban, wanted him at Alabama.

That's did not prevent Saban from still trying to help him though. With retarded people, sometimes you have to lay things on thick, do some exaggerating, to lead them in the right direction.

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.


He still keeps an office at the stadium and basically shadow coaches and recruits for the team, he sits with Byrne at Bama basketball games, the field's named after him

Of course he's going to say that publicly or the Bama brass had him say that, assuming what you're alleging is actually true and not conjecture. Plausible deniability.

And this surprises you?

There was no opening at LSU although after a year with the Dolphins he did inquire about a possible road to Baton Rouge. Les had a won a championship so LSU wasn't going to toss him overboard.

Then Saban had so much success and built such a legacy by 2016 that there was no way he'd leave Bama where he was a god.

Or course he never went back. Nick is always solely focused on where his feet are but that doesn't mean that Terry and he didn't love LSU or Baton Rouge while they were here.

You feign surprise or offer some nanny boo boo shite.

Have human beings, from Earth, ever really walked on the moon?

You seem to live in a fantasy-land where whatever you concoct in your silly head is real, so, I wanted to ask you some other things.

Is the Earth flat?

Are chemtrails a secret government experiment to gain mind control over U.S. citizens by turning their brains to putty?

Saban never asked anyone, anywhere, at anytime if he could come back to LSU.

I'm not saying he didn't like coaching there. Most coaches do like wherever they are coaching or, you know, they would likely not be coaching there.

On the other hand, which is where so many people find LSU fans to be ridiculous caricatures, Saban did not secretly want to come back to his only home he ever loved and to the only fans he could relate to and to the only city that truly loved him, and to the only place he wanted to live the rest of his life at.

The melodramatic and overdone and clownish way LSU fans have continually wanted to claim Nick Saban as theirs and only theirs is a strange form of hick-town hero worship I've never really encountered.

They sincerely are incapable of comprehend this nor are willing to accept it.

No different than LK being the “successor” to Coach Saban when the guy was literally fired by the man during the season.
Yet somehow, despite being the HC at programs like OM, UT, USCw the guy was 9-24 vs top25 opponents until this past season (“improved” to 14-26), and has over 20 losses by 24 points or more in his career as a HC, along with his biggest accomplishment being winning Conference USA western champs at FAU….

edit: he did beat UGA once

"Secondly, he said that his greatest professional regret was leaving LSU in the context that his greatest regret was just leaving college football in general.

He really didn't give a shite about LSU, in particular. Otherwise, he could have went back to LSU as he had many opportunities to do so."


lay off the copium. Nic would never have stepped foot in that tooth-less dump called Gumpbama except for the self-admitted mistake he made in leaving LSU

Coonass reasoning is not real life. It's just what all of you curate, out of thin air, to soothe your nerves.

Bama's Nick Saban has reiterated several times, most likely just so maybe LSU fans would comprehend, his greatest regret was leaving LSU in the context of making the mistake of leaving college football, not specifically LSU.

Those words have been spoken by him, personally. When a man who is, quite literally, the greatest love of your lives says something, you should drop all the stories you have created to make yourselves feel good and just listen to him.
