In just two short years at LSU’s head coach, Saban’s on-field success has been unmatched as he has guided the Tigers to 18 victories, a pair of bowl wins, including one in a BCS game, and the 2001 Southeastern Conference title. Off the field, Saban has spearheaded a fundraising effort that has raised more than $15 million for a state-of-the-art academic center for student-athletes.The new LSU Academic Center for Student- Athletes is all part of Saban’s plan to give his players that best opportunity to best successful when they finish their football career.

Losing Davey and Toefield and still overcoming the adversity to win the title game, or any game for that matter, has been a trademark of Saban-coached teams. Teaching the players to trust and believe in each other has been a charac- teristic that Saban has branded on his squad. Saban preached to his team to play for 60 minutes, to become a dominant team on every play of every game, and to not worry about what the scoreboard read.The players responded. After the Tigers dropped a 35-24 deci- sion to Ole Miss in Baton Rouge in late October, LSU was practically counted out of the SEC Western Division race.
