re: Is this a True or False statement regarding Les Miles and Saban's players

True, but with the players he inherited, he had 3 top 5 finishes, 1 sec and one nc in 3 years. Once those players were gone...1 top 5 finish, 1 sec and 0 nc in 8 years. He's 24x more likely to finish top 5 with Saban's players.

couldn't we say that about a lot of coaches though?

I mean Saban's formula is simple, be the best dang recruiter of them all, and essentially win games before they are played..coach up the defense, run the ball, mix in pass, don't beat yourself

the question is, who wins most of the games with same talent level and depth? on a neutral sight against Saban coached teams?

I am convinced Alabama gets ranked #1 this year despite not having a QB named and losing several key starters is because of the #1 recruiting and the "Saban" factor.

Let's be honest, he is most people's #1 ranked coach in CFB...and this comes from consistent performance. He wins big...4 MNC in 8 seasons? Yep that will put you at the top.

It's sucks Miles has to be compared to him, but it's the reality of him restoring LSU's program and then leaving us...
