When the Florida coach was asked what makes Bama so dominant his answer below.

His answer was not how great the players are. His answer was not how great Coach Saban was it was the following.

"The Commitment level at Alabama is like no other. The commitment to have the best facilities to recruit and make life easy for the athlete. The commitment to have the best coaches and advisors and consultants to make each player the best he can be. The commitment the University has made to support Nick Saban is unreal and from that commitment they have created a brand that is unreal".

I think coach McElwain hit the nail in the head. LSU got a short bleep of what happens when the commitment is there during the Mark Emerett days and him hiring Nick. Those days have passed and the commitment level is not the same. Much like a business or personal goals you only reach what you aim for and commit to. LSU has lowered the bar from the Emmert days. And tiger baiters it has nothing to do with picking the coach as much as the Commitment to the program. Bama spent the money and I bet their profits although they are spending more money are more today than they were prior to Saban.
