The Fort Worth Star Telegram goes into detail comparing Charlie Weis and Nick Saban, two products of the Bill Belicheck school of coaching. It's a good read.
Read up on Caleb Mitchell's (defensive back from Russelville) meeting with Coach Saban at camp a few days ago.
THE DENNIS FRANCHIONE ERA
#4: Alabama 31 LSU 0Nov. 16, 2002 in Baton Rouge, LA
ASS WHOOPIN.
That's all that can be said about this game. It was a beating. Alabama ran for 300+ yards against the nation's number one defense. It was LSU's worst loss since a 37-0 defeat against Oklahoma in 1950. I had no freaking idea we would be able to completely manhandle them upfront on both sides of the football.
Needless to say, it was quite fun. :-) This is the game that started the "Nick Saban vs. Dennis Franchione" rumored rivalry...but as we now know, there was no such thing.
