Seriously? The Buckeye fan is right. The B1G has won the last three National Championships, and did it with 3 different teams.

They finished with 3 of the top 5 teams in the country. At the moment, I don't think it is too far fetched to say the B1G has passed the SEC...at least for now. It's not like the Buckeye fan has come out of nowhere to make these claims. You can claim that the B1G is top heavy, but that is exactly what they were saying when the SEC was winning titles every year. Right now, the B1G has passed us. It's just the way things are right now. The SEC has gotten complacent, and will need to get on the stick if we want to be back on the top again.

I would, too. It's a dumb thing to do. :lol:

I know what you guys are all thinking, but y'all do realize the OLB coach does not call the defensive plays or scheme, right? The OLB is supposed to teach technique, and what to do within the scheme the defensive coordinator calls. The DC decides what formation, personnel etc to call then sends that down to the defensive QB (typically one of our ILB) who calls the formation/scheme to the defensive group. If each position group called their own scheme we would have a mishmash scheme where players are bumping into each other. The OLB coach does not have anything to do with what is called once the game starts.

They do have some input with how to attack an offense pregame and some during halftime IF the DC and head coach wants their input.

Georgia's whole defensive philosophy is to pressure the QB, and affect the ply. The last several years we have concentrated on pressuring the QB and making him uneasy in the pocket early in the season, and then attack and sack the QB later in the season.

Coaches better than Miles.

Nick Saban
Bear Bryant
Robert Neyland
John Vaught
Steve Spurrier
Urban Meyer
Wallace Wade
Frank Thomas
Paul Dietzl
Phil Fulmer
Vince Dooley
Kirby Smart
Pat Dye
Johnny Majors
Bobby Dodd
Shug Jordan
Gene Stallings

Yeah. I was going by memory, and did not really look up Vaught, Fulmer, or several of the others you mentioned.

Is Les Miles a top 5 SEC Coach all time?

I think he is, maybe even a top 3.

Well, let's see. Top 3 all time? Which of the following does he beat out?

Bear Bryant
Nick Saban
Kirby Smart
Urban Meyer
Steve Spurrier

And those are just off the top of my head. They all won at least two National titles. (Spurrier "only" had 1, but is second in wins all time in the SEC)

they're giving Kiffin whatever he wants.

This is a huge key. It would be a coaches worst nightmare to not have resources provided by the school he is supposed to be winning for. It should go a long way. I have no doubt, it will be easier to recruit for LSU, have more money and better facilities...and a great fan base. He is set up for success. There won't be any excuses if he fails.

Honestly, if he fails, it's 100% on him. The administration is giving him everything as are the boosters.

:lol: I posted above before i read that part. Looks like we are on the same page. :cheers:

A solid A+. Now, I wouldn't say that will translate over to LSU. It could. If i were an LSU fan, I would be very excited about the possibilities, but things don't always play out like expected.

We all thought Dan Mullen would be a home run hire at Florida.
Ditto for Kalen DeBoer. (Could still, but not looking great right now)
Brian Kelly at LSU.
Jimbo Fisher at Texas A&M.
The list goes on and on of people saying, "If Coach ______ can do that well at his present school, he can kill it at University of ________.

We'll see. Who knows? Maybe it will translate over.

So, you just skip over the countless good posts he makes and goes straight to that one? I'm sure you can find several more like it. But for every one of those you will find10 that are solid. Crap, dude. Aren't you tired of the continual sniping of Ole Miss at LSU, LSU at Ole Miss and Lane Kiffin threads, or is that the kind of world stopping posting you come here for? :lol:

This is what I can't understand. There are several awful ones. Why [pick on a good one?

Imagine getting excited about a bunch of girls jumping up and down and yelling, "GO TEAM!!!!" :lol:

Alabama had to replace the best college coach in history. And following that is hard. 2023 Nick Saban couldn’t match 2011-2020 Nick Saban. Why would anyone expect someone else to be able to match that? We will likely never see it again anywhere.

---

I don't know. I guess you would have to ask other Alabama fans. When Alabama hired DeBoer, Alabama fans were in here celebrating like LSU fans after they hired Kiffin. We were told Alabama would not miss a beat. We were also told that it was Alabama, and they would continue winning because...well they are Alabama.

quote:

---

Georgia has their best coach in history. Alabama has at best their 6th best. So yeah, I would say beating Georgia is a pretty good goal. If we consistently beat Georgia, like during the Saban years, Alabama will be ok.

---

And yet even while beating Georgia, Georgia has won 3 of the last 4 SEC Championships, and since Alabama's last National Championship Georgia has won two.

So, my question is this. Is Alabama being ok, good enough? Yes, we do have our best coach in history, just like Alabama had their best coach in history in Nick Saban. But Georgia fans are not predicting that we will not miss a beat once our coach retires. Alabama fans were doing exactly that.

Honestly? I think Alabama fans were some of the better posters on the board considering the successful run they've been on. Since Saban retired? Not so much. Many of your fan base are not taking this well at all.
