re: If 2-5 losses per year was good enough for Saban, why not Miles?

Records of East vs. West

1. Florida 1-1 (loss to SECW #4)
2. Georgia 1-1 (win over SECW #7)
3. Tennessee 0-2
4. Kentucky 0-2
5. Vanderbilt 0-2
6. Missouri 0-2
7. Vandy 0-2

In 2001, LSU won the West yet lost two games against SECE teams. Ole Miss, the only other SECW team to finish with fewer than 5 losses overall, went 2-1, but that was because Vandy and Kentucky were two of their SECE opponents. so it was pretty much the opposite of how it is now.

Saban didn't really win a NC at LSU.

USC won that year.

Its like the opposite of the catastrophe syndrome Saban talked about when he first got to LSU. Its higher expectations and a sense of entitlement. Now, when expectations aren't met, are aren't up to most of these jackasses standards, catastrophy syndrome set in again.

Miles first three years were all due in part because of the players already on the team that saban recruited..what has miles done since 2008? 1 NC appearance in which he couldn't get his stacked team across the 50 yd line


Do u really think miles can go from a 3-5 loss season and win the national championship the very next year?

That's not going to sit well with the Miles high club.

Not only recruited, but, coached up by Saban.

Then why he can't be him?

I think I see what you're trying to say, but you gotta remember the SEC West in 2000-2004 was no the same SEC West it is today. The competition top to bottom (not just bama) is much stiffer.

Exactly. What would Saban's record at LSU have been like if an equivalent Saban had been at Bama?

We would be on championship number 4 with Saban by now. Fact. 5 is debatable.

How do you know this?

So does this logic mean Saban won with DiNardo's players?

Nah. That doesn't help the narrative to shite all over LSU, does it?

quote:

---

Nick Saban is about to win his 4th National Title in 6 seasons

How do you know?

Saban isn't going to be given a Mulligan, or a one-game match up with a media darling that is clearly worse than half the teams in his conference (ND 2012).

Ole Sabes and Bama are going to have to win two games against two really good teams.

He's lost his last two bowls.

How do you know this?

I hear the OP, and I used to make similar arguments but somewhere along the way Nick Saban got better plus, recruiting to Alabama is probably easier than recruiting to LSU

---

Well, duh. Bama fields the best team money can buy in CFB every week for years. Of course he does. Not to mention the other off-field benefits Saban experiences at Bama that NO other coach in the SEC gets.

LSU Saban never enjoyed these benefits, thus you got those records.

You people need to wake up and realize what LSU is up against and the standards they face on and off the field. All of these myths put on this board are hilarious to read. Some of you really do live in a fantasy world where LSU gets the top talent annually, plays an easy schedule, then gets the benefit of the doubt from the media when they lose a game.

When Saban was at LSU and LSU lost, LSU fell, just like now. Saban loses at Bama? LOLOLOLOLOL

The list of double standards goes on and on and on and on...

But keep living in a fantasy world where LSU should have won X number of titles the past 11 years. It wouldn't have mattered who the damn coach was, our success would have been similar.
