Saban footage while at LSU link inside

LSU Saban was the best Saban.

Remember those days like it was yesterday

Awesome video.

And damn, that comment about the LSU facilities at the end. Many have been addressed except for the PMAC.

Mark Emmert had a plan for a Flagship University. He knew that a successful football program was the key to fundraising to create the Flagship University.

The Flagship football program plan included investing heavily into the football program: increase coaches salaries (8X) and hire an elite head coach, pour money into building up the football facilities. The football facilities were planned by Mark Emmert. He told those plans to Saban:

quote:

---

I WAS TOLD WHEN I CAME HERE there were three things we were gonna do: improve the living conditions for the players (which we have), build an academic supp0rt center (which we have), and the last thing we were gonna do is build a football facility for football. THAT'S WHAT THE COACH [Saban] WAS TOLD.

---

Nick Saban stating that we was TOLD the plans for the football program.

"and the players that need improvement, we won't let them down."

Toonces in the background

I was a freshman in 2000 and remember holding up the "Just in the Nick of Time" signs the first game of the year. I went to every home game that year and had an absolute blast.

My wife (unknown to me at the time) had a speech class and her professor told the class that she was approached by the athletic department to teach Saban how to speak to the media. She apparently tutored Saban on media relations and how to communicate more effectively. I guess they didn't like his press conferences when he first arrived!

lol dude was trashing the pmac 20 years ago. I can only imagine what Kim thinks about it.

Him speaking about if you want to be happy with results, then be happy that we won but I am process guy - Reason 1,023,999 that he is the best

Any idea what player Saban is talking about who skipped 3 days of practice? Did he rejoin the team?
