Re: A "What If" Thread: What if CNS had stayed at LSU? Where would Bama be now?
Had CNS remained at LSU they would be the top team annually in the SEC West. I suspect he would have won at least 2 more NCs between 2004-2013. I also believe had he not left LSU after the 2004 season he would have left later for the NFL and by then may have found it more to his liking.
As for Alabama, I believe we would be on our second coach since 2007. I think Mal would have done his very best in securing a top notch coach, but there was and is no other CNS. I do not believe we would have won a NC and we would in all likelihood be somewhere between 2-4 in the SEC West every year. He is simply that good of a coach and has made us what we are.
