Things like this happened to Saban's teams.

Of course they did, but Saban blew a gasket when they did.


The thing that really bugged me about Saturday was that LSU clearly didn't come out in the second half with the hunger, and IMO, that's coaching. Players are players for the most part, no matter what uniform they put on, but it's the responsibility of the coaches to find a way to get these guys to have their game faces on throughout the game, Miles, Saban, or insert coach here..... If and when they don't, I would like to see a coach act just a little pissed after the game, not give all the credit to the other team or look for the silver lining, but resolve in himself that this kind of half arsed second half BS will NOT happen again, and then make it so.

I realize that Miles is the kinder gentler coach, but if he lets these players run the team in the long run by letting them determine the tempo by what a bunch of teenagers feel or are thinking then it's not going to be pretty. I'd really like to see Les drill some more mental discipline in these guy's heads. The talent is unquestionable. It's the leadership that gives me pause.
