Alabama Crimson Tide football coach Nick Saban regrets leaving LSU football.
—The Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame announced Tuesday that Saban, who won LSU's first national championship since 1958 in the 2003 season and set the Tigers up for their next one in 2007
"I didn't know Louisiana would do this for me."
—No, it was here in Louisiana that Saban was hung in effigy
—There were police escorts for his wife Terry after Alabama won that game, 27-21, in overtime.
—Saban barely made the criteria cutoff to be eligible for the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame, which states a coach or athlete must be active for at least five seasons on the college level in state. he coached LSU for five seasons from 2000-04
—He left when the two best back-to-back LSU recruiting classes in history — No. 1 in 2003 and No. 2 in 2004 by Rivals.com - were still only freshmen and sophomores. 18 starters from those final two classes of Saban, who was already in his second job since leaving LSU. Those were quarterback Matt Flynn, tailback Jacob Hester, fullback Quinn Johnson, wide receiver Early Doucet, tight end Keith Zinger, left guard Herman Johnson, center Brett Helms and right tackle Carnell Stewart on offense. And ends Tyson Jackson and Kirston Pittman, tackle Glenn Dorsey, linebackers Ali Highsmith and Luke Sanders, cornerbacks Jonathan Zenon and Chevis Jackson, safeties Craig Steltz and Curtis Taylor on defense with punter Patrick Fisher.
As it turns out, what I learned from that experience in hindsight was, it was a huge mistake to leave college football," Saban said. "And I know a lot of LSU fans think I left for whatever reasons, but I left because I wanted to be a pro coach, or thought I wanted to be a pro coach. We loved LSU. We worked hard to build the program. If there was one thing professionally that I would do over again, it would've been not to leave LSU."
