re: Better coaching styles, Les or Saban

I would choose Miles if I had a son. He is what I would expect a father figure to be. Reminds me of my godfather. He would stick his neck on a chopping block for you and in return you would give your left nut for him. Nothing wrong with Saban if all you want is results on a field.

Depends on what you're looking for in a coach. S is an azz...CLM is a players coach.....personally I prefer playing for an no nonsense azz because you always know where you stand.

Read an article years ago which broke down the difference between the two.

Cliff notes are as follows;

Saban - Wears players down and burns them up with one goal in mind, a national championship for Bama.

Les Miles - Has teams that compete every single year. Prepares his players for the NFL.

Miles. Wouldn't trade him for two Sabans.

hey im gonna pay you 5 mil and give you unlimited resources. saban is just a dick... les is riding the high life

Saban was a head coach for 20 years prior to getting the job at Alabama, and won one national championship in that time. He gets to Alabama and all of a sudden becomes this jedi level coach who always makes the right choices and anyone who even thinks they belong on the same field with him is an idiot..... ORRR..... there's a lot more to Alabama's national championships than who's coaching the team. Give me the easiest schedule in the SEC 20 years straight, boosters that do not care about NCAA bylaws, administration that does little to no policing at all, a conference in which every major position is held by an alumni, a family of television networks that will push any agenda to see you succeed, and I'd be willing to bet I could win a NC or two as head coach of the tide. Furthermore, look at it this way:
2011 The polls get it right, put Ok State in the BCS title game vs. us, we slaughter them. Les 2 NC's, and Saban has 2. Ohio State doesn't lose bowl eligibility in 2012 and they play ND for the national championship. Now, we'd be sitting here talking about how they have the same amount of nattys. Every ball bounces in their favor for SOME reason, and it's not just because Saban is so much better than everyone else. Look at the polls this year alone.. you think Alabama would be #4 if they were undefeated? If this were the BCS era, we could be very well looking at undefeated season without a shot at a title.

Saban was also a DC of a cleveland defense that set records.

Let me see, Bear coached over a dozen years before he won a title. 1 at maryland, 7 at Kentucky, 3 at Texas A&M, and several at Bama before the first one.

Guess he sucked.

He does? I seem to remember Saban beating him in SECCG for one of his champeenships. They r probably close to even.

Let's be honest. If we were in combat, Saban is the s.o.b. We want leading us.
