How anyone could think Saban was a better coach is beyond me. I was not a believer in the beginning, in fact I openly said I thought he was a terrible coach. All I can say is what a mistake on my part.

I don't think Miles is a better coach than Saban.

But I'll say this.

Last year Alabama had G-Mac, Julio Jones and two 1st round RBs and LSU beat them 24-21.

Every year Alabama has the No.1 recruiting class in the country and someone how LSU is described as the most talented team in the country.

Miles has had his team ready to play Alabama and most teams.

Also looks like he's very close to hitting 80% which is phenomenal.

He may well be a better tactician. It just depends on what you define as a "coach". Different people have different qualities that they ascribe to individuals that they feel make them a better coach. Miles may have a better way with people and know how to motivate or make a player be a team player. Saban may have better tactical and 'whiteboard' skills, or be a better skills coach (DB's).

It's debatable but not that far fetched that Saban is a great coach. Why they always have to be compared against each other in a "who's better" internet fight among 16 year olds never ceases to amaze me. The collective intelligence and attention span of the internet dweebs of America is exasperating.
