re: How did we lose 3 games in 2001 with a team loaded with nfl players?

Saban was also nailed by Dinardos failure to recruit qbs.

Saban lost one reg season game in 03 and two in 04. Everyone knows we were robbed at Auburn.

Like Miles was robbed in 2006 at auburn? Miles has another sec west title and imo we wax Florida of we play them again. 2006 Florida frustrated me sooooo much. Ints off of our wrs helmets. Our dbs go up for an int and end up tipping it to a UF wr who takes it to the house . painful to watch.

Simple question. Which group would you take if you were a coach or GM? A or B?

Group A:
Qb -Rohan
Oline- Ben Wilkerson, Stephen peterman
Rb-. Labrandon toefield
Wr- josh reed , Michael Clayton, devery Henderson
Dline-marcus spears, chad lavalais, marquise hill(rip), kendrick allen, jarvis green
Lb- trev faulk, bradie james
Dbs-corey webster, ryan Clark

Group B:
qb - mett
rb - hill, blue, copeland, magee, hilliard,
wr - obj, landry, wright, boone, dural
ol - Turner, la'el, vadal
dl - Ego, freak, rasco, hunter
lb - Barrow, kwon, beckwith,
db - Loston, thompson, collins, mills,

He won two SEC titles and a NC by his 4th season. Those aren't on the field stats? Or that isn't impressive?

Again, Saban lpst 3 games im 2001 while his team was loaded with nfl talent. Miles doesnt have the luxury of coaching in a sec west where 3 losses wins you the west.

So wait. Losing 4 games, then 3 games, then 5 games, then 1 game, then 3 games is IMPRESSIVE? And you bash Miles for 2012&2013? Wow

Are we taking into account how shitty the sec was in 2001? Hell a 3 loss team won the west. I would definitely take 2001 defense.
dline- Jarvis Green, Marcus Spears, Kendrick Allen, Marquise Hill, and Chad Lavalais
lbs 
- Bradie James, Trev Faulk
Secondary- Ryan Clark, Corey Webster, Jack Hunt,RandalL Gayn and Norman lejuene

All these defensice players from 2001 were studs and played in the nfl.
2001 defense is far superior, in talent, to 2013

Also the 2001 offensive personal is full of studs that went on to play in the nfl.
qb-rohan davey
rb-Labrandon toefield n Dominik Davis
wr- josh reed,devery Henderson, michael Clayton
te-robert royal
oline stephen Peterson, ben Wilkerson.
2001 had more overall talent that 2013.

Saban took over for a guy that lost and got run off. Had to build it. 

---

He walked into a program stocked with nfl talent

quote:

---

Miles didn't have to build it. He had to maintain it.

If you were knowledgeable about cfb, youd know its common knowledge that its harder to MAINTAIN a powerhouse program than it is to build one.
For example, which is harder to do? Having 3 elite recruiting classes OR have 10 good recruiting classes?
Which is harder to do? Win 12 games two years in a row OR win 10 games for a decade?

You know, after reading all this you have convinced me. Miles is a better coach than Saban. 2013>2001. Saban inherited a better program in 2000 than Miles did in 2004.

Consider me converted.

Oh yeah, and it's also more difficult to maintain a program than to build one.

I left that off the list. Anything else?

No- I think it's pretty clear to anyone knowledgable in football that Miles>Saban.
