They’re kind of interchangeable.No, that was Muschamp.
Makes you wonder. Saban then wasn't the Saban we know now. With a 34-24-1 record at Sparty and 58% winning percentage he was just another coach that improved a horrible program and was on the way up. There was no way of knowing what he would turn into. So, my answer is the same as any time anything went good for Les Miles....a voodoo priestess in the Quarter.how the hell these idiots lucked into Saban is one of those right up there with that ugly guy we all know who married the hottest girl in school

It's an understandable confusion, I'll admit that.They’re kind of interchangeable.
Which is really more Auburn recruiting than LSU coach hiring......LSU got lucky with Nick Saban in that they had no clue what they had found. It's like buying a suitcase at a pawn shop and then finding it filled with cash when you get home.
POTD candidate right hereWhich is really more Auburn recruiting than LSU coach hiring......
That was Muschamp, I think. That turned out great, too.Wasn’t Chizik head coach in-waiting at Texas?
I honestly think he got better as a coach and no not cause he went to bama even with all the resources bama had. I think there is a misconception that you are either a good coach or you aren’t like you can’t get better at it like any other job. I think saban is one of those guys who is always looking for a way to get better. I knew an auburn fan who said “saban came back a better coach from the pro’s” He said this to me in 2009 by the way.I will confess I laughed hysterical when they hired Saban.
Six years later, Saban was my #1 guy to come here and replace the Head Coach Formerly Known As Quarterback.
By the same token...Saban got hit with some brutal sanctions at the end of his first season due to the previous regime. But he appeared for all the world to be a one-hit wonder that was getting tabbed before the program sank.
He lost to UAB.
Then he won the SEC - but because of 9/11, everyone wrote it off as a fluke.
Then he went 8-5, which would have been 7-6 without the Bluegrass Miracle.
Then he won a national title.
Then his team choked away a couple of games and he fled to the NFL.
But I also knew a simple truth: any guy who can win a national title at LSU can win more than one at Alabama.
Seriously - if Saban had won the same number of titles, I wouldn't have minded a couple of 8-5s in exchange for the glory. I'm glad we didn't have to make that trade, though.
I think they are trying to get into the Guinness Book of Records for that, so they can at least say they are #1 at something…As others have alluded, I think the real question is who would take that dumpster fire of a job to begin with.
I would call Harbin stupid for taking the job in the first place. But he’s likely to get an eight-figure goodbye kiss. So who are the stupid ones?
Late Note: the stupid ones would be the barn PTB. How many football coaches can one school pay not to coach?
Well…Lane hasn’t told the Snotty Toddy’s that they’d have to carry him out of there in a pine box, so there’s that. But he did have issues with the admin at USC; is he smart enough to know that a similar situation times ten potentially lies in wait at the Barn? We’ll see.Having said that about Freeze....
I believe Plan B for AU is Lane Kiffin.
Could Ole Miss come up with the money to hold off AU? I doubt it.
He drops Mizzou and/or LSU they'll probably fire him before he gets off the field.He will likely be out at the end of the year regardless of what happens from here out.
That's a hit piece kind of reminiscent of what Finebaum used to write way back in the Birmingham Post-Herald days.When the typically pro-Barner al.com crowd is writing hit pieces, you know he's in trouble.

OR he was directed to write that piece to get more buy-in for the inevitable...That's a hit piece kind of reminiscent of what Finebaum used to write way back in the Birmingham Post-Herald days.
I was honestly surprised. I don't think the barn would bar him, but I'm guessing he'll get a cold reception going forward.
