Wut?

The record against Saban is a little deceiving. Yes, Saban holds a slight advantage with regards to wins, but you can throw out the first meeting since Bama was rebuilding in Saban's first year and Saban also destroyed Les when it counted the most. Les is a good coach, but to bring up his record against Saban is just something to try and fool yourself into thinking those two coaches are even remotely close as head coaches. Saban will be the GOAT, it just sucks that he is at Bama while Les is here. If he was in any other conference, nobody would be calling for Les' head.

Sumlin is much more of a headache than Miles.

O Rly? Miles has beat Saban while at Alabama 3 times. Who else has done that? Hell, who's beaten Nick Saban while at Alabama TWICE?? NO ONE.

And therein lies my point.

Sumlin is much more of a headache than Miles. Last three meetings:

Sumlin has been there 2 years. How many coaches have had as many chances as Miles to play Alabama under Saban?

Fair enough, but do you really think A&M would be anything close to what they are without JFF? He's gone after this year, and likely Sumlin as well.

ETA: And I realize they signed the #1 QB recruit in the country this off-season, but JFF > any "#1 QB recruit in the country".

Exactly. That, and McCarron crying after the close win last year show how much respect our team gets from them.

Moral victories aren't worth diddly.

The bottom line is we lost both games. I don't care how much Bama respects us or Saban respects Miles, I want to beat them. The whole idea of us taking comfort in the fact that eventually Saban will leave and Bama's dominance will end, is just plain sad. We've got issues that we need to address NOW. Bama demands excellence from their coaches, why can't we do the same from Miles and his guys? Year after year, we see the same mistakes, the same sloppy play, the same unfocused and undisciplined players. Miles can fix these things, but first he has to admit that there's a problem.

This logic always cracks me up.

Let's give Saban a pass on some of Miles' victories, but we will gladly shove an undeserved Mulligan (that Miles would never get AFTER Saban lost AT HOME with JJ at QB) up Miles' arse every chance we get.

I literally detest our fan base.
