So is it Lane’s team if I say yes? Just like Les and Saban? Or are you arguing Les should get more credit?


I would be a fool to say Saban didn’t play a role in the 2007 team.

I’ve simply found it interesting the difference in the storylines regarding two similar situations.

Good answer

It definitely shows that without a stud QB you’re not winning at a high level

I’m not saying he didn’t play a role. But acting like it’s “Lane’s team” when Lane had the opportunity to take the team with him and for the most part failed makes them fundamentally different situations. And for the record, I’ve never thought less of Les for that championship. It was much harder to win a Natty back then for things out of your control.

You’re claiming lane “built the team” yet they decided to stay with Pete.

They're really posting through it. You'd think they take a couple of days off and come back with some fresh jokes about A&M being gay but they're really committed to looking pitiful.

Definitely Pete. He knows he can't maintain Kiffin's success and will eventually move on from Oxford.

We know Lane didn't benefit from Pete Carroll's players

He had to deal with Pete's sanctions.

Well to claim it's Lane's team would be dumb.

There was a reason Pete jumped ship when he did.

Has zero to do with player recruiting from the 2025 season and development.

You got your arse beat on the field.
Please save offseason threads when your season is over in November.

Saban - known recruiter

Kiffin - known not to recruit

Golding - keeps posting sharks

“I” did no such thing. “I” am not a Kiffin fan. “I” picked OM to win 32-28

Imagine being an Arkansas fan and feeling like anyone in this thread gives a shite about your opinion?

Lane very rarely does any recruiting himself. When he does, it's normally just to post something on social media.
