It's interesting that you pro-Saban lovers seem to have no recall of actual events



I like Miles. A hell of a coach who does have some questionable calls at times but also gambles just enough. A great Recruiter. I am glad he got the money and I am glad he is LSU'S coach. However What Saban did here was unreal with what he BUILT program wise. What Saban is doing at Bama is remarkable. Had Saban stayed at LSU for another 5 years??? LSU is assured of at least two more titles.

That's a hypo that can only be estimated by his win% while at LSU........which isn't as good as the win% of Miles.
Saban's Miami experience may have seasoned the way he approached CFB.
Maybe Nick doesn't gamble on 4th so many times vs UF '07, or maybe he doesn't have to, or maybe it's too far out of reach to even try.
Way too many variables to "assure" LSU of 2 more titles, or even attempts at titles(BCS).

You give no credit to the job DiNardo did? I know he left a bad taste in the mouths of some of you but be fair. He slowed the stream of Louisiana talent from leaving the state. He capitalized on it. He did not leave your hero with an empty cupboard.
Saban to his credit was quick to expand on the foundation that DiNardo laid.

No question that he is a remarkable coach. Another 5 years? Come on man. No way in Hell was Saban going to stay at LSU another 5 years. From the day he arrived in Baton Rouge, he had his bags backed for the NFL. Baton Rouge was a stepping stone and he made no bones about it.

It is really frustrating that whenever anything regarding Les Miles is mentioned, you Saban lovers have to chime in with your tired old revisionist history and your childish "what if" scenarios.

Each of them has a valid body of work that stands alone. Miles is the engineer that runs a very profitable enterprise. He is worth the pay.

You may feel free to fire a crimson tinted rebuttal.

Maybe, but in Saban's last year here he had just as many losses as Les had this past season. And well, just as many as he had in all his seasons except one.

For some reason, Les is called 2 loss Les, why isn't saban called 3 loss nick?
