Be careful the villagers don't take kindly to King Les criticism. LMAO.

I know, luvitrleve, I heard Miles rode in a Limo the other day and you pretty much had a fricking breakdown. King Les and his escort with electric windows and dual climate control.

I bet Saban was wishing he had worked them harder after the 4th quarter of the Iron bowl last year.

King Les sits in his castle and marvels at your inane criticism of his reign. BTW he earned every perk he's got. I haven't worried about our play late in the game since '05 Tenn.

If LSU starts losing more games under Miles, I might accept that observation. But c'mon all this guy does is find a way to win games. The measure of all coaching is the W-L record. After this long, it's no fluke. Mad hatter is a winner.

I think there's some value to the thought Miles works them too hard toward the end of the schedule and the players are worn. We seem to fade down the stretch. Not early, but the last few weeks have been a problem. Death struggles with ole miss shouldn't happen.

I am actually very close with one of the O-Lineman that played for both, Saban and Miles. He said that Saban's practices were short and to the point. There was no standing around and they hardly ever lasted over a few hours. He said that Miles' practices are long and methodical. Lots of standing around and waiting on directions about what to do next. 4 hour practices were not uncommon with Miles. I guess the biggest difference was efficiency...

It ain't ping pong. If you can't run with the big dog's then stay on the porch. Oregon will soon find this out.

As a coach you just can't win cause everyone always knows more than you but imagine the out cry if he didn't work them hard enough

I call BS.
NCAA allows 20hrs, including gametime, and you're either trying to say Lord Saban didn't use all of that, or Miles violates the rule after what happened to Rich?
Nice one.

You didn't play college athletics, did you?

I played baseball at a smaller school and we practiced 4 hours a day 6 days a week during the off season...

Players also aren't supposed to take bribes, prostitutes, and cars...I guess we could all live in your perfect world though...

I'm just telling you what some guys told me. Take it for what it's worth, but that's the word on the street...Miles' practices are long and inefficient...Saban's were not. Doesn't say that Saban > Miles in overall coaching ability you sensitive frick...

Ive heard from someone who played for both that Miles is a better dancer than Saban and that some mornings Les smells like garlic, while Saban in the mornings smelled sweet, like Candy....who knows

This thread didn't go as you expected? I understand why you haven't responded to any posts, yours was pure ridiculousness.

I personally know someone who has played for both Saban and Miles and he said Saban never made the players practice too hard so everyone would be fresh for gametime. He said Miles practices players too hard and they are not as fresh towards the end of the game as they normally could be.


exact opposite dipshit. ride over to FSU and try to endure a practice with Rick Trickett. You will think otherwise.
