He's pretty much speaking the truth. When Saban took over at LSU who in the SEC was dominant besides Florida. Spurier left pretty quick and they went into a few "down" years. LSU started the SEC coach price war. Not until Saban got the big contract did SEC schools start paying that much for coaches. The SEC is a LOT and I mean a LOT better top to bottom now and for the past 4 years.

I wouldn't say Skip is "speaking the truth". We all agree that the SEC is much more competitive now than it was then BUT Skip is using that as an EXCUSE for Miles' sub par seasons while downplaying Saban's LSU title by saying "it was different ie. "easier" for him back then". Problem is, Skip's ENTIRE argument is shot to hell b/c SABAN JUST WON ANOTHER NATIONAL TITLE AT BAMA. Ask yourself why is it so difficult for Les now but not for Saban?
