Struggles for a genius
We in Louisiana have almost -- not quite -- lifted former LSU coach Nick Saban to the same status of Bear Bryant in Alabama.
But even a genius can have a bad stretch.
If you're scoring at home, Saban is now 1-5 this season with the Miami Dolphins and 10-12 since leaving LSU. He is on the verge of his first losing season as a head coach.
His own genius has been part of his undoing, basically gambling on Daunte Culpepper instead of Drew Brees at quarterback.
You may be thinking, "What does this matter to LSU fans now?"
Simple. Sometimes thing seem better than they were, or in Saban's case, will be.
LSU fans should enjoy the memories of Saban's time at LSU, but also realize he wasn't the perfect head coach -- something becoming apparent in Miami. And for LSU coaches, the grass isn't always greener.
