re: Did anyone actually at LSU when Saban was coach have run ins with him?

I think Miles is a good guy but he doesn't seem to care about his job or excellence like Saban does

If you equate "excellence" only with wins then you're sadly mistaken. Please don't misunderstand me. I like winning just as much as anyone else. But if the sole standard of "excellence" is wins then you don't know what you're talking about.

Miles exudes excellence in his demeanor, he brings it out in his players, he shows it in his human interactions with others and he creates leaders because of his caring attitude. A true leader brings up other leaders. He doesn't scream, yell, and browbeat them into submission. If you've done any reading, you'll understand that players WANT to play for Miles because of his excellence. Players would COME BACK to play for Miles for the same reason. Make no mistake, he knows football better than probably anyone on the rant. But he has and brings out excellence in himself and others.

I know that this may not be understood by all but I'd rather have Les over Nick any day. I'm positive that Les is one of the guys that's always improving himself. I think it's funny that the one's who think they don't need self-development are the ones that need it the most.

In any case, to you and
