re: Okay kids, if you will come up for air out of saban's lap

Okay. I'll just cut to the chase then. People compare the two simply by comparing W/L columns. I have never coached a collegiate football team but I would have to imagine that it is MUCH more difficult to build a program up from rock bottom and turn them into national champions in 4 seasons. Show me where Miles has done that. He hasn't. He was tasked with MAINTAINING a program 2 years removed from a NC when pundits, recruits and college football fans alike had begun to see LSU in a completely different light than what they had seen in 1998-99. Miles did a great job maintaining (and even improving on that prestige a little bit), but unfortunately, the last few years point to some disturbing trends. If you think this team plays with the same discipline and intensity of 4-5 years ago than I don't know what to tell you.
