re: Once again another SABAN-MILES discussion (STATS)

Someone illustrate that Saban is better than Miles through facts

It's not all about facts. I'm not necessarily disagreeing with you, but strictly looking at stats doesn't tell the whole story. Example: Do you REALLY think LSU is better at night in TS? Probably not - that record (compared to the daytime record) is largely due to LSU playing much better teams during the day because they were moved for TV.

Now, subjectivity doesn't tell the whole story either, and the facts you gave provide a strong argument for Miles. However, here are some subjective points for you to consider:

1) The program was in better shape when Miles came to LSU. By leaps and bounds? No - DiNardo had recruited good players too. But Miles still inherited a better situation. You can even throw in FACTS (related to facilities in place) to back this up.

2) I can think of games both coaches should not have lost. This might be a wash.
Saban: UAB 00, Ole Miss 01, Florida 03, Iowa 04 (05).
Miles: Tennessee 05, Auburn 06, Kentucky 07, Arkansas 07

3) To me, and to many others, Miles is not a good "in-game" coach. He's messed up simple things like timeouts and clock management.
