Okay kids, if you will come up for air out of saban's lap
Anyone who can use the phrase 'benefit of the doubt' and Miles in the same sentence, and come up with something positive, needs to be on medication.

I know...how dare me give a guy that has won more than any other coach at lsu the benefit of the doubt....how dare me defend a guy that the rant would have you believe was in the midst of the worst times at lsu ever....despite the fact of being 3 games away from equaling what many consider the greatest two years ever...how dare me.

So let me get this straight. If you support Miles, and think he's a great coach and wonderful man, you are intelligent and mature.

If you think Miles is not very good, and believe he was successful for inheriting a gold mine, this makes you a kid?

I think you are battling real and perceived differences in styles and emphasis (by two coaches). Saban's serious, no nonsense, essentially antisocial demeanor impresses people as more effective in promoting a disciplined team; and there is some definite truth to that. Mile's personality is much harder to take seriously and most fans want to "look up" to their coach in terms of respect and in terms of how he is viewed nationally.
Rightly or wrongly, people are embarrassed for Les and transference has a powerful emotional effect.
