My point is that Saban has 1 loss in the regular season over the last 3 years. He isn't God, but the coaching ability isn't close between him and Miles. Self Deception is an awful thing, so take the blinders off.

This brings up another comparison. Good players work to improve to become great players and good coaches work to become great coaches. Saban is demanding of himself and is even better now than he left LSU. Miles, not improving. Hell, he continues to make the same damn mistakes in time management.

Miles can consistently win, like Cholly Mac did at LSU. Saban though is more like Bear Bryant of the 70's. Cholly Mac did beat Bear Bryant, back to back in fact in 69 and 70. That was it. I loved Cholly Mac but I always wished we had a coach that could lead us like Bear Bryant did year in and year out at Bama. Saban is doing that now and it so painful for those of us that remember Bear Bryant because we see similarities in the fundamentals of the game that many here don't recognize. It's extraordinarily pains me because we know we had that new day Bear Bryant as our coach and he's now at the school I hate the most.
Yep, we may win this coming Saturday in Bama's rebuilding year while we are in our 3rd year with JJ & JL and don't see any improvement. We may just win because we have talent, but it's not due to the coaching. It's in spite of the coaching but that's not going to last forever either.

With all due respect to Mac, he won bout 69% of his games and not almost 80%, he never had a 3 year period of NR in the Top 5, and didn't win a NC.

With all due respect to Nick, "The Bear" won 6 NC, 323 games, and 14 SEC titles.

I have no ill feeling toward Nick, but to this point in time...he can barely lift the Bear's coaching jock. imo
