I know right? Its almost like Miles won 114 games and 1 title for LSU and Saban won 48 games and 1 title




Without Saban, there never would have been a Miles era at LSU.

Without Saban, there never would have been "1 title" during that Miles era.

Great for recruiting.
This will help Bama to continue their recruiting domination in Louisiana.

Saban said he is looking forward to being in Natchitoches for the induction weekend. “I’ll be there,” he said.

He'll just turn it into a glorified recruiting trip.

Saban made LSU.

He certainly didn't hurt us, but the 1996 season (4 years pre-Saban) served noticed to the country what LSU was capable of when it kept its homegrown recruits in-state.

It's a travesty that state postponed his induction for so long because of bitter jealousy.

Saban made Alabama. Legitimate national titles and not some of the bogus ones claimed.



How stupid.

Saban definitely deserves the honor, but it is a little odd while he’s currently dominating LSU at a rival school.

A lot of people are responsible for LSU’s turnaround.

Saban definitely played a big part.
Mark Emmert deserves most of the credit. The problems were systematic, political, and appeared hopeless. He achieved the impossible.

His successor, Sean O’Keefe, also deserves credit.

DiNardo began the turnaround on the field and with recruiting. LSU was battling against schools like Southern Miss for recruits, and losing to them on the field before DiNardo. He locked down Louisiana’s talent and started winning games.

Les Miles won a lot of games for a decade, including another NC. Saban will always get some of the credit for Les’s success. Recent history has shown even blue blood schools are one bad hire away from failing to historic lows. Les was very successful during a ridiculously strong era for the SEC.

Wow he said his biggest regret professionally was leaving LSU. LSU would have ten titles since 2000.
