re: The Root of the Les Criticism IMHO.

Les didnt build the program. Saban built it Les has done a decent job of running it. It's not as good a program as when Saban left but it's good.

Really?

2005 recruiting class was only 13.

Why? Numbers finally caught up with LSU (ie. Saban) who could only sign nearly 1/2 of what other teams were signing. FYI, Alabama signed 31 that year. Auburn - 22. Arkansas - 24. Miss St. - 29. Ole Miss - 28.

Saban was not perfect. I guarantee you if he stayed for an additional 3-4 yrs. (05-09), I don't think he would have done as well as Miles.

As far as recent coaching brain farts for Saban, look at the Aggie game. Best GD offensive line in decades and Grade A running backs. 4 minutes left in the game. 1 and goal on the Aggies' six yard line.

Run.
PASS?
PASS?
PASS?

Really? Is that all you can muster with the line of the Decade (Century?) offensive line?
