What you misunderstand is that history will one day prove that Coach Saban is among the greatest ever

No, I don't misunderstand that at all. I think Saban is a great coach. I'm not going to drool all over the guy but I will give him credit, he is a great coach. Something you seem to be incapable of doing with Miles, since you have dodged my question once already.



So getting back to what I just asked, did I misunderstand you or not? You said the trend continued with Miles. So what he's done for the last 10 years is just that, a trend? Like it was just luck?

I never called him a genius either. I think he's a good coach but he's got flaws, just like any other coach. That includes your all powerful Saban. Saban losing to UAB, ULM, Saban whining for that last second to be put back on the clock in last season's Iron Bowl, Saban putting out sumo wrestlers on the kick return in the same game. Crap, Saban himself said he's never seen a game end that way and the one time he does see it happen, he's to blame for it.

Miles does have his flaws too, clock management and QB development being the two bigs ones, I will grant you that.

On the corollary, he's also the only, write it down, only college to coach to beat Saban more than once. Google it if you think I'm wrong.



It's interesting that you can't give the man the credit he deserves. Put your personal feelings aside for once and look at what he's done since he's been here.
