You're probably right. Lane would stay at Bama for at least 20 years and eclipse what Saban did in Tuscaloosa. No fear of him staying that long in Baton Rouge, that's for sure.

Jalen Hurts: Played at Alabama three years, played at Oklahoma one year, received a degree from both institutions

LSU fans: "LOL at Bama fans trying to claim Hurts. He finished his college career at Oklahoma!"

Nick Saban: Coached at LSU five years and then left voluntarily, coached at Alabama seventeen years until his retirement

LSU fans: "Saban is really an LSU guy at heart! He's one of ours!"

Why is Saban still an employee at the University of Alabama if he loves LSU so much?


yea! I was wondering about that myself. I had a sales person selling for someone else on the side. When I found out I had to let them go. But as a good business man, I found out. So yea that is a good question on why he is still and employee.

ChatGPT does a pretty good job of breaking it down though:



LSU fans such as you have ridiculed people in the past for posting ChatGPT or other AI content.

Not only are you dishonest, you are a hypocrite.

You should be shunned from society, and you likely are. That would certainly explain your 900+ posts per month here.

Link it then, Rainman.

To the contrary, I've actually posted here that:

He shouldn’t be. Worst thing a retired coach can do is hang around when a new coach comes. Surprised he agreed to it. It doesn’t help DeBoer at all.

Are we sure he was? I think it's been pretty firmly established that, of the Saban tree:

- Kirby was not going to leave UGA
- Sark used the opening to get a raise
- Lanning used the opening to get a raise
- Kiffin was persona non grata based on his relations with a prominent booster's wife

I mean, hindsight Cig would've been incredible, but he was 2 months on the job at Indiana at the time and not a realistic hire. Neither was Cristobal at the time.

This site has a search function, use it.

You need to start backing up all these statements you make with actual facts.

It is absolute trash. You can have a thread up, open another tab and go to the search function, literally copy and paste from the original thread into the search, and it will come up blank or with other threads. It is a joke. Quit likely the worst search function on the internet. It is perfect for you.

You forgot to add "and wishes deep in his heart he'd never have left. He views LSU as 'the one that got away'"

It'd be funny if it weren't so retarded.

Or maybe it being so retarded makes it funnier.

Go watch the Saban A Football Life documentary and report back, that's one instance of it.

At about 18:37 in, Ms Terry:

Lane also claims to have been run off the road on the way to the airport by a crazed Ole Miss fan.

Naturally, the Mississippi Highway Patrol providing his police escort that day was able to prove Lane was fricking full of shite.

Lane never lies. Never.

I'm not saying he wasn't lying about this but you do realize that they provided an escort after he called them because he was supposedly nearly ran off the road, right?

No one ever said it happened while he was being escorted.
