The complete lack of awareness by the Rantards is hilarious. Nick telling Lane to take the LSU job was his nice way of saying, "Lane, you will NEVER get the Bama job". Crowing about being Lane's consolation prize is high comedy.

Kiffin asked him for his advice and he gave it.

Well we do know one thing, he told Byrne not to hire Kiffin! If he thinks so much of Kiffin, why wouldn’t he want him at Bama?
Because he didn’t want his legacy potentially overshadowed by LK.
No threat of that from deBore.

I can tell you with 100% certainty that Saban talked to the LSU AD for at least 20 mins right before this year's Bama/LSU game. Still that was only 20 mins. How long do think he talked To Greg Byrne? Probably a little longer, dont you think?

Because he loves LSU and wishes he had never left because his heart has melted a little each day since he made that decision to leave LSU for Alabama.
He has said many times that in his spirit life, he was born in Baton Rouge and was baptized in that 'Ole Man River they call the Mississippi.
Among friends on the golf course, he always wears purple and yellow as a tribute to the greatest team in the greatest town in the greatest state in the United States.
It's said that after each hole, he will do a coonass jig dance and shout out "ayeeeayee" before moving to the next hole to show his appreciation for the culture that he feels turned him into the man that he is today.

Well Saban and Verge are friends. Lane looks up to Saban as a mentor. It makes sense that both would call him.

You realize Saban coached at LSU too don’t you?
If he doesn’t want his legacy overshadowed then it makes more sense why he advocated for Kiffin to get the LSU job.
