Saban returns to LSU

By Carmine Caruso • November 8, 2008

Nick Saban and the #1 Alabama Crimson Tide will be hosted by Saban’s former team, the #16 LSU Tigers, today. Saban coached the Tigers from 2000-2004 and won a national championship with them in 2003 before leaving after the 2004 season to coach the Miami Dolphins and later coming back to the NCAA to coach the Crimson Tide.

Although his team is #1 in the nation, history does not favor him in this game, as no coach has ever won a game on the road against a team he once coached to win a championship.

About the Author

Carmine Caruso

My name's Carmine Caruso (By the way "Carmine" is pronounced with a silent e, sounds like "Carmen"). I am one of the editors here at SFC. I'm also a fan of the Patriots, Red Sox, Celtics, Bruins, and Boston College football & basketball. I live a few miles away from Gillete Stadium and my family holds season tickets to the Patriots, and I also go to Fenway Park a few times a year. Because of the recent success of my teams, I've been criticized as a bandwagon fan plenty of times. That is false; win or lose, I have always and will always love my teams. I am knowledgeable about sports and follow them well, and that's why I'm here.
