Everybody knows he did.

That’s what is hurting all of your pussies

So the greatest coach in the history of CFB history
Nick Saban

Advised Lane Kiffin

To take the LSU job


I understand the o misses being butt hurt

But imagine the bamas indignation about this situation!!!

Should the bamas disagree with their beloved coach
The greatest in history???

Should the fig liberal press disagree with Nick Saban?

Y’all are fricked and you know it!


Merry Christmas to one and all!

There was one real quality melt from a gump about Saban helping a team they have to compete against. I can’t remember who it was but it was a solid one.

Who cares?

He will either win or he won't.

LSU starts every game at 6 points instead of 0. 1 point for every national championship he won at Alabama that really should have been at LSU.

What if Trump Derangement Syndrome was covered by Obamacare?

What if Noah went to Harland and Wolff, a well known shipbuilder in Belfast, Northern Ireland, to have the Ark built ?

It means his mentorship and advisement is worth something because he gave him good advice.

I was glad for Lane Kiffin, if you want the truth, but Alabama has weathered a lot more than that in our storied history, and nothing that happens at LSU will change anything

Why would Bam's be indignant? You need to ask yourself these questions. If Saban loves Kiffin so much, why didn't he let Bama hire him when he retired? Does he think Kiffin is a good long term coach for the program or does he think Kiffin will burn it all to the ground? Saban wouldn't grant Kiffin his endorsement for the Bama job. Maybe he just doesn't like LSU very much anymore.

When Saban retired, I don't think Kiffin had been dried out long enough for Saban to recommend him to take the keys to his program.

The elephant in the room is that Kiffin has a substance abuse problem but he's been functioning with it for quite some time. He's cleaned himself up over the last few years. I wouldn't be surprised if Alabama not even calling him in 2024 was the wake up call that he was ceiling'd at a program like Ole Miss with the way he was living.

Nick was advising a former coach about taking the best job available. LSU was the best job available at the time, so why wouldn't Saban advise him to take it? Nick is/was advising as a fellow coach, not from a fan's standpoint. His view point was nothing like that of a fan so I don't think there was any slight toward Alabama by him advising Lane to take the LSU job. I get why LSU fans are trying to turn this into something it's not. There's no need too. It doesn't change the fact he went to Alabama, won six national championships and is the owner of the greatest college football dynasty in history. Nothing will change that.

So then I guess all is forgiven? LSU is ready to build a statue of Saban now. The good thing is it will be like 10% of the cost of the Shaq statue just on materials alone.

Easy

He didn’t want to be followed by a successful coach

I think some would consider DeBoer to be a pretty successful coach, especially having the stones to follow a legend. I guess time will tell.
