And you - or anyone else - please feel free to attack the facts contained in my post. Please... go ahead. You keep enjoying random rants from Les Miles and convincing yourself that this nuttiness is what builds champions.

Your "facts" are clouded by your assumptions about how the team is coached and you have no clue.

Please just become a Bama fan.

I'm pretty damn happy with our program. We're always in the mix, stay out of trouble with the NCAA(for the most part,) have a great graduation rate, always on TV, win 10-11 games a year...and on and on. The kids love Les, and would go to war for him, they all come back/give back to the school when they can. What's not to like? It's unrealistic to think that we will win the NC every year, and frankly that would get a little boring. Even Nicky said it's more fun to build a dynasty than it is to sustain it. I've been around long enough to remember when we would have killed for 75% of the success we have now.

Here's the truth, Dallas.

There is only one Saban, and he is at Bama. He's a great coach, but he's not here.

But the guy we have is so close to Nickie in his RESULTS, there is hardly any difference. And when it comes to personality and class, our coach is superior hands down, no contest.

If LSU's defense had made just one big play during just one minute of football, the whole Miles-Saban comparison would look quite different today.

Had we stopped that last-minute drive in the Bama game, LSU would be BCS #2 tonight and in control of our own destiny to play for the crystal in Miami, Les would be 4-3 against Lord Nickie, and their respective winning percentages in their current positions would be essentially the same.

So quit crying that Les isn't Saban. Saban has it going right now, and he might win a third crystal for Bama this year. But the difference in results betweeen Saban and Miles is miniscule, and with one stop by our defense, Les would have a chance for his second crystal in Miami which would tie Saban's two at Bama, and Miles would have the edge on Saban head to head.

My guess is, when both careers are over, Miles will likely be right there in every category with Saban, including accumulated crystal footballs, but we'll have had the better man (and the far more entertaining personality) at LSU, for all those seasons we are lucky enough to keep Les Miles as our damn strong Head Football Coach.

And even if we could trade Les right now for Nick, for the next 5 seasons, I'd gladly stick with the Mad Hatter, and that decision isn't even a close one for me.

Next year, Les just might even up their head-to-head record and collect his second crystal at LSU. Who knows?
