I knew he was Lou's son and he worked for the Browns once too. But I didn't think he was shit when he was hired, thought it was a bad hire, I was wrong.
How is this myth still alive? They are either not related at all, or distant cousins. http://www.latimes.com/local/obituaries/la-me-lou-saban30-2009mar30-story.html "Saban shared the last name of another prominent football coach, Alabama's Nick Saban. Joyce Saban said the two men might have been second cousins but the families weren't sure if they were related."
i knew who he was and wanted him of the possible hires. But I also thought he was a good guy as well.
Well apparently he is, just not the one we thought. But I too knew he coached for the Browns, Michigan State, and Toledo, the Toledo job not until right before he was hired though.
that same Ohio State team lit up Saban's defense (a much more talented group) for 42 points in the playoffs.
If you want to score on Saban's d the blueprint is out there. Tempo, run with the QB, and must be able to complete passes, if you can do that you can spread the field and run on them. Think about every team that has beaten them over the past 5 years or the ones that have scored a lot of points, A&M, Ohio State, Auburn, Clemson, all were able to put up a lot of points because they spread the field, used tempo, ran zone read, and completed passes, eventually that backs them off, then you can put em away spreading the field running the football. Mark my words though, in 2016 LSU will line up I formation and try to run on them to open up play action. It will fail, then LSU will be forced to air it out, and it won't work. Les will think it will because LSU dominated the Cleveland School middle aged Welders with this gameplan. Oh who am I telling y'all know this already.
