re: Could Miles have done what Saban did at LSU?

Explain how this happens when we only scored one TD out of 7 possessions with a healthy JJ and Scott.

Worthless Drives
1st Quarter - 2/3
2nd Quarter - 2/3
3rd Quarter 0/2
4th Quarter 3/3

And unless you want to be an arse about it, Charles Scott's run put us 8 yards away from the endzone, so I would give the credit for that drive to him, making that stats 2 TDs out of 8 drives.


Anyway, as per your post. The offense had been making great strides and was doing exactly what they wanted in the 3rd quarter. Does that mean that Alabama wouldn't have stepped up in the 4th? No. But it suggests it.

FWIW, if Peterson is in the game, Alabama most likely doesn't haul in a 73 yard screen for a TD and this game can be won by a FG..

No other coach could have convinced the fanbase they know NOTHING about football..it goes back to his first speech and the "brook trout" routine.. basically he put the fans in the place he wanted them and that was NEVER question the coach..

Meanwhile, now we have a mealy mouthed blockhead for a coach who has so little credibility speaking to the fans that they don't believe anything he says and question every move he makes. Which coach would you rather have?

Hey internet tough guy, why don't you go out to a practice and call him that to his face rather than hiding here like the coward you are?

I'm probably one of the biggest Miles' defendants you're liable to meet on this site. But if this individual were to go to MIles with this crap and he responded physically, he'd be fined and/or suspended by the next day.

could Saban have handled the issues related to Hurricanes Katrina, Rita and Gustav?

I am not confident saban's reaction would be positive to such challenges

we heap a lot of praise on saban for creating an environment for the next coach to succeed AND we should BUT there are other responsible parties at LSU that made this action happen.

Coach Miles has weathered storm after storm here, and demonstrated himself to be a class act.

If Crowton's offense succeeded in one more play call of five... we would be hoisting both these men on all shoulders along with championship hardware...

in the meantime, I place much of the blame of offense on coach crowton... i just don't see miles calling the ridiculous series of back-to-back passes that we saw in the louisiana tech game.

my opinion Saban doesn't have the patience to deal with the issues related to catastrophes like hurricans katrina, rita and gustav...

saban is very capable with football issues... all the minutia and drama caused by katrina, rita and gustav - not so capable
