In his August 2, 2003 pre-season column, Birmingham columnist Paul Finebaum rated Nick Saban as the best coach in the SEC. He described the job he has done as "phenominal" and recognized him as one of the most feared recruiters in the entire nation. When will other media types join him in giving the LSU program respect?
Love him or hate him, Finebaum is a smart man who knows how to sell talk radio. If you ask him off the record, he will tell you that LSU was his pick for the west. It is beautiful everyday listening to the bamers and beagle war chickens slobber about their programs. It was priceless to listen to Pat "cough cough" Dye talk about Terry Bowden and his allegations that he had to stop the payroll when he took over the program.
