I don't know.

I do know one thing though.

The Viles were headed to the BCS NCG which was in the Rose Bowl in 2001. They were so sure they were going they showed up with Orange roses at the SEC CG.

CNS had them throwing those roses in the trash on the way out of the Ga. Dome when LSU upset them.

2000 – He called it the “red alert” class. When Nick Saban arrived at LSU in December of 1999, he had less than two months to try and salvage what was left of the recruiting season. He didn’t do half bad considering he managed to attract future All-Americans Chad Lavalais, Stephen Peterman and Corey Webster in what was considered a makeshift class.

2001 – It might go down as one of the most memorable classes ever. In 2001, Saban made his splash on the recruiting scene hauling in a group of talent never before seen at LSU. The list reads like an all-star team including Joseph Addai, Bennie Brazell, Michael Clayton, Travis Daniels, Marquise Hill, Rudy Niswanger, Marcus Spears, Andrew Whitworth, Ben Wilkerson. It was the foundation of the 2003 national championship team.
