re: Les Miles vs. Nick Saban

________________
Nick Saban came to Baton Rouge when LSU was a mediocre program in the nation, and he has turned the program around in just three years.
________________

Uh, Saban's record was 8-5 his third year. Included in that record was a 31-0 loss to Alabama at Tiger Stadium.

However, Les Miles inherited Nick Saban's team and had the team going at 8-5 record last year (downhill).

Not every year will be good (see above). Last year we ran into the perfect storm of having to play inexperienced QBs (which was not Miles' fault) and not having a proper scheme on defense (which was). However, I think one problem fed the other and led to the snowball. The bowl game makes me think we will recover from that.

At Bama, Nick Saban is god because he turned the program around in just two years, beating Les Miles and his LSU team - a defending NC- at their house.

Saban had a good year last year with a very experienced team. He will not be able to repeat that success this year for many of the same reasons LSU was down last year. This is not a Saban's recruits/Shula's recruits thing, it is a simple truth that sometimes you are stuck with personnel that simply need more time to be ready or simply do not live up to their Rivals H.S. hype.

I know many of you will think this is Germans, but this is the truth. LSU's records would have been better if we still had Saban here.

In four years we have done the following

Won 2 western division crowns
A sugar bowl,
An SEC Championship,
A NC,
have a record of 41-11
Been ranked in the top 5 3 of 4 seasons.

I think that's pretty damn good, don't you?
