Y'all can bang your chest when O actually wins the sec West. Les did it in his first season.




LSU was just one year removed from winning a NC when Les took over. We are currently 10 years from the last NC, due to one inconvenient fact

Alabama did not have Saban in 2005, Alabama has Saban now. That's the primary difference.

Saban built LSU up to a Top 10 program (really top 20 with one national title included, so split the difference). Miles had kept the program at a top 10 level.

The biggest difference is that when Saban first built LSU up, the competition within the SEC was against Auburn and Georgia, two other teams on equal levels. Top 10 level teams. Now, every team in the conference has to deal with Alabama, which is on an unprecedented run.

The talent in the sec west is far better now than when Saban was at lsu. Saban never once faced a sec team that went on to play in the national title while he was at lsu. In his 5 years at lsu saban faced 1 west team that finished in the top 10.
In miles last 5 years there were 6 sec west programs with at least 1 top 10 finish and the 7th program had a 12th place finish.
