Saban v. Miles. It's that simple. They have more of a want than we do.

Corners also. Hawkins and Eugene would be nickel backs at best up there.

This.

Surprisingly, Saban has recruited well on the offensive line. (He always had good DLs).

We have an average DL and a below average OL. And not as much depth at either.

Must be a youngster. Yes we have muliple times. Just not lately. I predict that type of season will happen for the Tigers again in the next two years FWIW.

Saban pretty much specializes in all aspects on defense. I am still not sure what Miles specializes in. It sure aint the Oline which we previously thought.

Coaching.

I figure people will throw out all kinds of stats about how many games les has won, etc and be critical of me for saying this.

It goes beyond that. How do both staffs measure? Recruiting, development of players, discipline, making game time adjustments, and the attention to detail are very important factors that must be taken into account.

At this point, I say coaching is the biggest difference. This could change, obviously.

Saban's staff did bang up jobs v. UL-Monroe and did us all proud by playing Tina to Utah's Ike in last year's Sugar Bowl.

You can't point out Les' faults/mistakes without realizing they happen to every school. Bama is not prepared every game.

Anyway, I don't think we got outcoached v. Bama. We lost to Bama this year because our QB got hurt and our best defensive player cramped up. We would have won that game if JJ didn't hurt his ankle and if Patrick Peterson would have drank a little more Gatorade that morning.

Unfortunately this is both truthful and funny.

I love how jokers always like to throw out ULM, UAB, etc. It would be a lot funnier if he wasn't on his way to back-to-back 8-0 SEC record including back-to-back wins over LSU.

ULM three years ago is irrelevant.

Lack of execution on the field, terrible decision on replacing Pelini which was corrected, continuing with an offensive scheme the league teams know how to shut down and refusing to change.

I think much of the best talent on this team are Soph/Fresh, many of whom aren't playing yet. Or I hope so, anyway.

Miles can definitely do some things better. He can actually recruit OL better and stop turning DL into OL. When was the last time we signed and developed a top OL under miles? He needs to surround himself with a better staff. A decision needs to be made on GC, Stud, McCartney? These specific units are underachieving in my opinion.

Game management is another area where he can improve. FL/Bama games displayed obvious problems this year.

In all seriousness, I will have a contract drawn up and bet you literally any amount of money that LSU won't have consecutive undefeated SEC regular seasons within the next 2 years.

Maybe you just mistyped or misunderstood, but that's just dumb....but you said it.
