    Obviously in the next quote he gives a reason why it is one of the best jobs in the country by going on to say how easy it is to get recruits now.

    I beg to differ, he is actually referring to the fact that, at the time we went after Saban, we had to recruit him (or sell or program to him, if you wish). Now we don't. The LSU program sells itself.

    Who in their right mind would say any school could get any recruit in the nation, barring maybe 4 or 5 players? Think about that. Makes no sense.

    Read the entire article. Recruiting players has nothing to do with any of the story.

    You're right for sure, when I first read the article never did it enter my mind he was remotely referring to players. I don't see how anyone can think this, he is quite clearly talking about it being a good place to coach.

    I asked you for the entire article! I basically said I assumed it would make more sense in context by asking. :)

    I must be bored to discuss this heh.

    I had posted the link for FightinTiger and then someone else posted the entire article without a link to it.

    You must be bored for sure. :yelwink2:

    Gil Brandt is definitely no slouch. So this was a very heartening article to read.

    Interesting that Saban and Tubby both use Sexton and that Tubby has a 3 million buyout.

    Man, Tubby would have to pay LSU $3 mil to come coach for us.
