Does any coach have more wins over Saban since he has been at Bama than Miles?

Serious Question

Miles has 3 wins over Saban since he started at bama

I know Hugh Freeze has 2 wins and Urban has 2 (one at UF and one at Ohio State)

If we want a coach that can beat Saban, then who is better than Miles?

Has any other coach played Saban as many times as les? Or how about does any coach have more losses to Saban than miles?

can you imagine that we probably have a winning record against bama if we won in 2012 and 2014.

Les couldn't close out the game on the offensive side of the ball(we blew two 4th quarter leads)

I for one am very excited that we are going to hire someone who knows how to handle a lead in the 4th quarter.

Dan Mullen has more losses, but I belive Les has played Saban more than any other coach by a large margin

So, what you're saying is that you and I are the equivalent to, let's say, Jim Harbaugh in the coaching category? All 3 of us have exactly 0 wins against Nicky Saban.

Freeze is 2-2 vs Saban. Miles started off 3-2 vs Saban. Freeze will have to play Saban more than 4 time before you can say he is better.

I thought it was an unanimous agreement among Tiger Nation that those losses are blamed on Chavis's defense

5 straight losses.

The last win over Alabama was a half a decade ago. The game has changed. Our opponents have changed, offenses have changed. LSU has not

Yes miles has beat Saban in the past. But honestly, do you foresee him beating Saban in the future?

Can Les make a run like this? 3 national titles in a 4 year run?

2009 Alabama 14–0 8–0 1st (Western) W BCS NC
2011 Alabama 12–1 7–1 2nd (Western) W BCS NC
2012 Alabama 13–1 7–1 1st (Western) W BCS NC

I know what you are getting at.

I don't think people realise that Chavis kept Les around for a long time.

With Miles as the coach we have a great shot next year at beating them. Saban is losing most of his defense to the NFL while we return a young team. The biggest question is Steele's defense. I believe if Miles wants to keep his job and win next year, then he should fire Steele, but keep Coach O.

That's the point: LSU always has a great shot to beat them, but hasn't in 5 straight. Bama (and LSU) lose lots of talent every year to the NFL, but Bama still wins.

we only had a great shot in 2012 and 2014 and Chavis failed us
