LSU is a much less attractive job today than it was when we hired Saban....we are the poster child for the fact that climbing the mountain is 100% easier than staying on top.

Practically you are probably right but in reality look at our last 3 hires....2 of the 3 were shite hires and ultimately proved it on the field. I get that this is Woodward's first opportunity to make a football hire at LSU so he has the benefit of the doubt.

Although I will say this when a coach looks at the fact that Ed Orgeron and Les Miles won a national title at LSU any coach out there should firmly believe they could win a national title at LSU.

So after winning 3 Natty’s(and playing for four) in the last than two decades(and with the second most players on NFL rosters), we are a less of an attractive job than following the 90’s when Saban was hired?

This is moronic. LSU has won three national titles since that time, with three different coaches and upgraded its facilities to among the best in the country.

Saban and Miles were great hires. Orgeron was a horrible hire.

I doubt Saban would even be considered for the LSU job today, with his resume at Michigan State.

LSU wasn't a top 20 job back then and it's arguably top 5 today.

Well yeah, winning three national championships in twenty years with three different head coaches will make any team unattractive, right?

This is patently absurd. When LSU hired Saban at lot of people were saying how you couldn't win here, in the 20 years after McLendon, no coach lasted longer than 5 years. We fired 3 straight and 4 of 5. Only Arnsparger did not have a losing season. On top of that our facilities were shite and we were not willing to spend on assistants, DC Carl Reese left for Texas because we were not willing to pay him. Now we have top facilities, pay top salaries to assistants, and have shown pretty anyone with a pulse can win here how the hell do you get we are not as attractive as 1999.

this is also ridiculous. Saban had the team locked and loaded when he left, I'm sure youre going to say he lost 3 games the year after winning it all, 2 of those were on the last play including a Hail Mary in a game after he already said he was leaving and thats only 1 years.

Miles took over that loaded deck and did have a drop off the year after the title but improved in 2009 and was back to elite status in 2010 and was back in the BCSCG just 4 years after winning it and not for nothing but he did lay a lot of the foundation for the 2017 class that won the 2019 title.

The only coach having trouble maintaining here is O
