Good post.
But I'd love to hear Les Miles give that speech

Funny that the gumps run a very similar unappealing offense and get any recruit they want.

The SEC Saban coached against when he was HC at LSU was NOT as challenging as the SEC Les has coached against in his 9 seasons.

Nailed it right on the head.
Why are you stroking the dick of a rival coach who happened to coach here 10 years ago like it's your favorite dick in the whole, wide world?

There is a difference between when Miles took over and Saban took over.
Saban built it.
Les didn't do shite but get a powerhouse handed over.

Les seems to accept 10 win seasons,
Where do you get this? Please cite a specific instance that Coach Miles accepts 10 win seasons? Or accepts 'mediocrity'?
Would you accept 11 win seasons? Be careful how you answer.... by your reckoning, Saban 'accepts' 11 win seasons. (Notice Saban had one loss less than Miles this year).

He actually lost recruits during his last two seasons
Yeah? Which ones?
Also, from something you said earlier:
quote:
he wasnt getting the caliber of players that we needed to win. Turdbag takes over and starts pulling great dudes in recruiting for 2 years launching us to win our 03 title.
Go back and look at the players on the 2001 SEC Championship squad and tell me how many were DiNardo's and how many were Saban's. The 2003 season was Saban's fourth year here, so by that time he had three classes that were entirely his own, and whatever the mix was coming in that 2000 year. So, it's not like it happened in "2 years" like you said.

OK, here it is...
Certainly we don't believe that the critic who is in an immediate position of review is the one who counts; nor is the man, who points out how the strong man stumbles, one of significant emphasis; and I can tell you with sincere deception where the doer of deeds did deeds that needed doing different. We have the distinct impression that the credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena. We are the man in the arena. And when you're there, we're not here, and we believe the credit is his whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; whose multiplicity of personnel creates certainly some of the issues; who errs, who comes short again and again, because the memory of the day is elevated by all that other stuff; I don't see it; it draws no feel. He who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement? I don't think you can hide when there is a national enthusiasm for a specific game. And who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat. Just so you know!

Why do u need a break?
CLM is in the arena!
Where the pressure to win is unbearable for most(urban Meyer comes to mind)and the demands of your time and effort needed to win in this league are substantial. Many sacrifices come with being in the arena, along with the accolades and the paycheck.
If u cant see the correlation then I dont know what to tell u.

Saban coached here 4 YEARS , WON 2 SEC Championships and a NATIONAL CHANPIONSHIP in only 4 seasons. And His recruits all but 1 started, won the 07. It was so bad when Saban got here we were busing the Players to the practice field, there were no big budgets for arse Coaches, there was no academic center to help recruit, All the new facilities were built because of M Emmert and Saban. I say to you now IF DINARDO would have followed Saban he would have done much better than Miles has.

Tremendous effort on the Miles paraphrase. Nice.

To VJM41: Your revisionist history is incorrect. Saban coached here for 5 years, not 4. 2000 was his first year, and 2004 was his last. And, it was Miles's recruit who quarterbacked us to the 2007 National Championship game. Remember Ryan Perriolloux?

Saban was here 5 years he coached 4 seasons, Miles was Hired and coached in 2005. Matt Flynn was the QB in 07.// But I'll give you this lets say 5 years he still won 2 SEC Championships and a NC. Something Miles has taken Twice as long to accomplish. But what is TIME if you don't know how to tell it, O that's rite Clock Management. And To this day Miles has still not recruited and won a National Championship. All that's right he came close as he was SPANKED on National Television by Saban while embarrassing the state and the University.

A couple of the posters here remind me of a friend who still worships Nick Saban. The two Alabama losses this year? He blames officiating. It is a sickness.
