Like i said before i just don't get how a group of people can be so ungrateful to coach saban. they act like he spit on the ground at death valley or something. Say coach saban chooses to leave Alabama after winning them a national title do you really think i would be upset about him leaving after he won alabama there 13th national title??? NO!! i would be grateful to coach saban for adding to alabamas tradition. why are Lsu fans so angry. there the #1 team in the country, and yet they act like they have been put on probation or something.
What if he went to Auburn?
I'll try to explain it. CNS was much beloved at LSU. We bought into everything he said. He had a vision, to upgrade facilites, add a Academic Center, pay his assistants top money, and continue locking down the state in recruiting, something begun by Dinardo.
The university delivered on the funds and CNS delivered big time, 2 SECC, and a NC. We always knew he coveted an NFL HC job, so when he left, most wished him well and pulled for him in the NFL. When he came back, some fans had jilted lover syndrome, the coach we loved was now at a rival school that we played every year was more than some could stand.
Adding to some was the fact that he announced as the Bama coach the day LSU played in the Sugar Bowl, introduced at the Bama/LSU BB game, and the comments atributed by him seeming to take credit for LSU's successes, and his off the record comments, not the Coon statement (La. folks take no offense to that) but his seeming uncaring attitude that the fan base was upset, inflamed some even more.
Personally, I'm a NS fan. I think ya'll landed one of the best coaches in the country. BUt I'm an LSU man to the bone.I pull for ya'll every game but one all the time (unless losing would help LSU win the conference) But do I want to beat ya'll and him when we play? Yes, Do I want to remind him what he left? Yup.
Hope that explains and hope I didn't ruffle any feathers.
