That is something I just don't understand. Saban has had more than his share of screw-ups:

Loss to UAB, loss to ULM, last second-losses to Arkansas and Iowa, blew a big lead at Kentucky that led to the Bluegrass Miracle, blew a 24 point lead at home to Auburn.

There's probably more, but those are just off the top of my head.

Miles has had, what, three questionable games that he keeps getting raked over the coals for? It's like the Pick 6 thing for JL with some people.

Saban gets angry on the sideline, so he must be smarter.

When Saban's team loses, it's the players' fault. When Miles' team loses, it's Miles' fault.

This ones easy. Saban resurrected two programs from the grave in the SEC and took them both to the MNC and won in the toughest conference in the world.

How many coaches can say that?

Miles has maintained that level at LSU, so its not exactly an apples to apples comparison because he didnt have the opportunity to resurrect LSU.

There arent many caoches who will get that opportunity and succeed, so he'll probably go down as one of the best if not the best ever IMO.

You forgot that lovely performance against Utah in the Sugar Bowl. I have never seen a Miles team perform that badly, especially in a bowl game.
