re: Final Miles analysis: Pumpers vs Negatigers

The Tennessee game in '05 was game 2 of his LSU tenure and post-Katrina. The team ran out of gas and got beat. How that represents him as a coach is beyond me. '05 showed me that LSU had probably found the second diamond in the rough.

Things went well after that, IMO, until Perrilloux got kicked off the team and '08 happened.

Let'a not forget that game 4 of Saban'a first season was a home loss to UAB. Granted, we sucked hard in '99, but UAB?!? Also, don't forget his first season at Bama - lost to ULM.

The real answer is Ole Miss '09. That is the first time he really came into serious question on a large scale. There were hints before this, but that game was the beginning of the end.

There have been some good and great points along the way. The '11 season was as awesome a season as any until 1/9/12.

In the end, 5 in a row to Saban finished him IMO.

Saban is a once in a generation coach. Miles was competing against his ghost initially and then directly.
