After disliking Saban for leaving so late in December...

I have to say I'm a big fan of his now. When you listen to him speak, the guy is pretty humble. He always gives credit to the other team. He doesn't look ahead.
I watched the kids camp intro speech by Saban and the guy is alpha to an insane degree. Most coaches pump players' heads full of what they want to hear. In the speech, he told the kids he didn't need to hear anything from them. He's the coach and he didn't care what they thought. I loled. You've got a video of a kid yelling to Jarvis Landry that he got "punked son" for letting a kid catch a ball on him. That would not work out well for the kid at the CNS camp.
I have a lot of respect for the guy now. He doesn't really listen to outside sources and most of his rants he's right about. I watched the satellite camp video and you can tell he's just a passionate and very principled guy. Most coaches are full of BS. He called the handlers out. Most coaches bow down to the handlers.
Still wish he would have left LSU a month earlier so we'd have gotten Spurrier. I hated the Miles hire upfront.

If you hated the Miles hire, what do you think of 0?

I'm taking a wait and see approach on O.
I think the hires are totally different. Agreed O failed at Ole Miss, but he recruited the skeleton of some of their better teams. If you read Meat Market, I do think he was round peg square hole. He does fit here. He didn't have the resources at his disposal at Ole Miss he has here. He knows Louisiana better than anyone.
My biggest issue with Miles was he would not admit that there were glaring issues on offense. It's one thing if our offense had been putrid for one year. It's another when you've had offensive woes since 2008 and the pattern continually repeated itself and you fail to even admit there was a problem. When Miles tried to bring Bill Clay to LSU, I knew he was a moron. Our first game at ASU even Pelion had DBs playing soft zone coverage. I knew he didn't get it. I also want one side of the ball from a head coach. Miles was an offensive line guy and our oline had major issues late in Miles tenure because he put guards at tackle.
I don't think we need Nick Saban. LSU is a pretty unique school because of its recruiting advantages.
I wanted Chip Kelly. I liked Herman. I think Jimbo is very overrated.
I like the way our schedule sets up this year.
We have four losable games on talent. We'll probably be favored in every game other than Bama preseason. If O hit a honerun with Canada, he'll hit a homerun recruiting. I think his first year could set us up. In truth, I thought we played well under O. We outgained UF 420-270 but fumbled on the 1, botched a FG snap after being on the 1, and we didn't score from the 1. It was a pretty flukish loss. We lost to Bama. And we dominated every other team on our schedule.
We'll know pretty quickly about O this year.

Nick Saban is like the hot chick who left you (example for cucks). You will always hate him, hope for his failure, but wish you had him.

I think I want my athletic director fired. But I wanted that BEFORE Miles got fired so that he wouldn't do something stupid like hiring the defensive line coach who failed at Ole Miss.

Somebody should have pulled that kid out and spanked his arse right there in front of all the other kids until he cried. He didn't even say it once, he made sure to shout it a hundred times.

So your biggest issue with Miles was his offensive production, yet you also claim to hate the Miles hire from day one. So which is it? The Miles hire or his teams offensive production? And let's take a wait and see approach on O.
You sound like a cranky menstruating woman.

I was at the high school camp last week with my son. At the end of the last day he called all the campers up to take a seat on the practice field so he could talk to them. He is right in the middle of telling everybody how proud he was of them for taking steps to make themselves better when he sees two kids laying down on the field. He went ballistic. Hollered at them to get up and when they were too slow in reacting to his request he looked at the assistants and told them to "get them up or get them the hell outta here". That lead to a 10 minute speech about doing the small things right.

I love stuff like that.
To this day, I can still remember coaches that I had when I was very young either chewing me out or the team out for ... whatever reason.
All I know now is that it left a lasting impression, and moments like that helped me.

doing the small things right.
An important lesson/concept to embrace. Unfortunately, too many people don't.
Coach Saban is the fricking man.
Do I wish that he was still at LSU ... hell, yes, I do.

Jesus, the guy left in 2004. Get over it.

At the time, not many people liked the Miles hire. (Only the Snowflake Pump Lumps)

You can dislike his decision to go to Miami and to leave college ball and so on without disliking him personally. He really is a good dude. He is just one of the most intense and self driven men of our lifetime so he naturally comes of as a prick to average people like most of us. It is easy to see why kids want to play for the man. I am glad he left LSU when he did because there is no doubt that he was going to evolve into a legend no matter where he was coaching. I consider myself lucky to have witnessed this era of Bama football after the Dubose failure when I was a student and the Shula years as a young man.

It wasn't that I disliked his decision. I wanted him to stay but I knew he would eventually leave. Spurrier would have taken LSU over USCE. But leaving Dec 25th put us behind. And hiring a guy who's claim to fame was beating OU a few years was stupid.
He had an average tenure at OSU.
I know O had a much worse tenure at OM, but I thought he did well last year as interim. He inherited a TEs coach as OC. He was open and right about our deficiencies as a team.
We dominated every team except Bama and UF. UF was a flukish game that wasn't a coaching blunder. I'll accept the loss to Bama last year. I'll give him a year. It's not a turnaround job. He's set to succeed immediately.
We'll know next year about O.
