He didn’t want to throw saban or himself under the bus. Saban probably said youll never win one a natty at ole miss, at lsu you can. He also said(out his own mouth) uga is the best job in college football. I’ll trust saban over kiff on thoughts about the best job.

He didn't. He left LSU to take over the Miami Dolphins. He tried to get back to LSU when he decided he'd rather coach college, but LSU AD Skip Bertman told him no, that Les Miles was already the LSU coach.

Saban always said later on that his one regrettable mistake was leaving LSU.

Almost like he hasn’t called him out on it because it’s the truth. Nah, that’s just too logical for this board these days I guess.

Right bro. Nick Saban, who won 6 natties at Alabama, thinks the poors in Baton Rouge who steal from children’s hospitals is the best job in the country. Right.

Would be very easy for Saban or Carroll to call Lane out if he were just baselessly repeating lies about them

That’s more ex-girlfriend / Ole Miss behavior than it is Lane behavior..

We said no to that scumbag when we hired Deboer. He's 0-5 vs the Machine. What he says means nothing.

Hurt who? I’ve got 2 natties and 3 SECs in the last 5 years. Surely you’re not implying you’re going to hurt me.

Saban obviously said it. Kiffin’s said this twice now and Saban has had plenty of opportunity to correct the record if Kiffin was lying.

Also, as a land shart, why do you give a shite? Saban nor Kiffin have anything to do with OM [anymore].

Where do you think half the players on those championship teams were recruited from? You don’t win a natty without heisman winner Devonte smith’s game winning catch.
Landon Collin’s
Eddie lacy
Dylan Moses
Cam Robinson
Christian Harris
Irv smith

He knew LA was fertile recruiting grounds and always tried to poach Louisiana players. He needed those players to win championships, not the shite talent in Alabama.
He knows you can cherry pick them from your back yard when the program is humming.

You know what? I actually hope that the LSU narrative about this is true. I hope that Saban was really wishing that he was back in Baton Rouge the entire time he was stacking natties in Tuscaloosa. It could have been you! It should have been you! But it wasn't. It was us.

So is TX. So is GA. So is FL. So is NC. So is OH. Etc etc etc

Dude it’s gotta be so hard to look at your state and continue to find ways to claim that it’s exceptional.

And that's why Saban left Bama to go to LSU when the job in Baton Rouge opened up...twice.
