I find Les to be mind boggling.

Yeah

Have no idea how he kept the program together as long as he did.

He had good lines every year, maybe not great, but solid. That was a time when a great back and solid line could win a lot and sometimes everything.

We won in spite of him,

That just isn't true, though at times we lost because of him. The 2008 broke him as a coach, I think and the evolving landscape of college football left him behind.

And he turned out to be a creeper rather than the man many, myself included, thought he was.

Had Saban not gone to Bama, I think Les would have won at least 1 more NC and probably a couple more. Then we would be struggling about how to think of him post creep status.
