I, for one, will never forget Ole Miss '09. If I had, I certainly wouldn't after Tennessee last year. I don't hate the guy as a person and maybe your priorities are different than mine, but I will never see him as anything other than a clown of a ch.

I know he does some things really well as an all around coach but I just can not tolerate stupidity of that magnitude. I can get over other team's players outplaying ours, but when our 3 million dollar coach can't make decisions that every middle school coach can, I want him gone. No amount of success will ever change that for me.

I have tried to rationalize what he was thinking those two games, and every time I do, I just end up getting mad and wanting him gone more.

Saban goes for 50+ yard FGs (that fail) instead of Punting and relying on his D and keeps mentioning it as though they were 20 yard chip shots.

He play calls for a WR (who has thrown twice that year) to pass to a TE which results in an INT (not to mention had it been a split second later would have been a sack by mingo)

He doesn't give the ball to his heisman candidate in OT (don't know if it would have worked but shouldn't you have tried it?)

He could have just lined up Lacy,TR and two other backs for all three plays and at least gotten to to two yards in the center and they could kick a FG.

All this on a game that would almost assure a place in the National Title game and it was played AT HOME.

The same happened last year when he lost to South Carolina and then sat on a 24-0 lead to lose to Auburn AT HOME.

Why do I mention this - All coaches have weaknesses and moments of huge inexplicable brain freezes that cost them the game.

We have seen this with Saban at LSU and Saban at Bama, Stoops at Bama and Brown at Texas.

If you cannot comprehend this because you are incapable of rational analyses of obvious facts that are laid out in front of you - then perhaps the issue lies within you.

Can you point out the issues in those?

That's going to be because you do not understand football.

So let me get this straight... A 9-0 start including an OT win over Bama, something a lot of LSU fans said Miles would never do - and he's done it two years in a row now - a number 1 ranking, a championship caliber team, an incredibly deep roster that may even be better next year, top recruiting classes year after year, and you want him fired because of a mistake made during a game two years ago?

Are you sure you're an LSU fan?

Has enough time passed to forget UAB?

Or the Bluegrass Miracle?

So you can understand when I fail to appreciate the deification of the Bama coach, for extremely similar reasons?

Yeah, I know, winning games faster than anybody who has EVER held the job - but he's not perfect, that's for absolute certain.

You may need to pick a different sport, a different team or something. Maybe some professional counseling.

There are 1000 things going on every game. It is impossible to account for all of them. To suggest otherwise is ludicrous. The fact that the staff appears much less susceptible to those lapses recently strongly suggests that the guy at the top (the one you really don't like, respect, want "gone", etc.) has corrected the fundamental problems.

Sucks to be you, man.
