Sick of the Saban butt-hurt

I've been biting my tongue (figuratively) all day, but have seen enough to finally post about it. Our so-called fans who want to bash Miles and say our program is in some decline are seriously ate up with the butt-hurt for Saban because of the success he's having at Bama. What these people aren't fessing up to is that Saban at Bama is just a perfect storm. He's a good coach and great recruiter at a school that gives him unparalleled resources and lots of tradition. That means recruits all over the nation are trying to get there. On the other hand, lets look at what this demi-god was capable of here:
2000: 8-4, Squeaked by Houston, Lost to UAB, and got destroyed by UF. Beat Ga Tech in Chicken Bowl
2001: 10-3, Squeaked by Kentucky, Lost to Ole Miss and got destroyed by UF. Beat Illinois in Sugar Bowl
2002: 8-5, Squeaked by Ole Miss and Kentucky (Bluegrass Miracle), Beat by Auburn & destroyed by Bama. Lost Cotton Bowl to Texas
2003: 13-1 (BCS Champs), Lost to UF @ home and only played in BCSCG because USC lost a game. Beat OU in Sugar Bowl/BCSCG
2004: 9-3, Squeaked by Oregon St (thanks Alexis Serna), UF, Troy, and Ole Miss, Lost to Auburn and destroyed by UGA. Lost to Iowa in Cap One Bowl on Hail Mary
Combined record: 48-16, 3-2 in Bowls, several humiliating losses and some close escapes against inferior teams. Keep that in perspective when you want to bash Miles and claim the program is in decline.
Now I'll hang up and listen.

He was building a program at LSU. Try again.

So you're saying he didn't have to rebuild at Bama? My point is that him being there is what makes him look better. If he were back here, my opinion is he'd likely be doing no better than Miles is.

After the shitty '04 season and mail-it-in loss to Iowa in the Cap One, what tells you this?
Posted on 10/20/13 at 7:47 pm to FlyingTiger06
I think your opinion is wrong. If he was here he wouldn't be at Alabama and therefore he would be dominating just like he is there.
ETA: And to add I am sick of the Saban butthurt too. But it will never go away because we have a current head coach that will be his bitch until Saban or Miles retires. It sucks because LSU fans know what Alabama is doing is what should be happening here.

He wasn't dominating before, so why would he be doing it now?

Saban had to beg LSU administration to get the student center/practice facility built.
That's the delusion that some of this fanbase has. You think that LSU is just this football machine that anyone with half a brain could run. If we're unfortunate enough to lose Miles you people will see real decline very quickly.

You obviously don't know how The Process works.

right. he rebuilt twice. here and there and has smoked Less in SEC titles and NC's overall. Don't even bring up performance. or gameday coaching.
Les did not have to rebuild here and saban still has smoked his arse.

One of the dumbest, idiotic things I have ever seen posted on here. And that's saying something.

Have you ever heard of improvement? Do you have a job? Do you think you are better at it now that you were 10 years ago? I sure fricking hope so. Miles is worse at his job than he was 7 years ago.

although they get paid approx the same...saban is way way way ahead of miles and its not even a debate. did you see how they shut down o miss and arkansas....they also lost players to nfl. they just reload but we dont. i'm not ashamed to say but hope we had saban back. i heard he wanted back from dolphins but lsu admin didnt want him. what a dumb decision.
and oh Oklahoma State is going up and LSU is going down..want to know the common reason..our 4 million dollar guy

He hasn't gotten better...he's just in a better situation. Like I said it is the perfect storm. Put him back at somewhere like Michigan St and he'd be back to a 9-3, 10-2 type.
