re: Scott Van Pelt's take on Les

If we lose to Alabama and beat Ole Miss and Arkansas this ain't happening. Getting arse raped twice by Arkansas and belittled by Ole Miss, being a leader in penalties, being near the bottom in pass offense, not recruiting or developing a competent QB, hiring rejects to run your offense, defense & special teams and yet having the most players in the NFL points to a serious management problem. People on the outside just see a record. Real fans are tired of the same shite over and over costing us. We're tired and some are becoming apathetic which is worse. Time to take our lumps and let Les go.

Nailed it. Miles did not win NC with Saban's players, but he won it with the remains of that system that focused on intensity, on field discipline, focus, and accountability. Miles is a better recruiter because he can attract the talent he has without the same results, but the lack of team qualities Saban left behind are what is lacking and the cause of the decline in the past 4 - 5 years.
