that Nick Saban


fwiw.. Nick had 2 SEC championships in 5 years. How badly does it reflect on Les if he can't match that, what with being left with a #1 and #2 recruiting class and carrying on to have top rated classes after that too.

that is not an easy thing to do...1 SEC and 1 BCS Championship in 5 years is OK in my book and the program is still on track to win more in the future

Not the best way to compare. I think you'll agree with me that the SEC is a tad diff now then it was then. Saban won the SEC once in his first two years at LSU but may have none to show for in his first 3 years at Bama.

Saban won an SEC championship during his 2nd year at LSU.

Saban has been in Tuscaloser for two years and still hasn't won shite and he probably won't win shite in his 3rd year in Tuscaloser either. What does that say about bammer?

Nick didn't have Bama to contend with while he was here...if you guys would go back to sucking, Les could have already done more.

Here's 3 things that Nick failed to do while at LSU that Les accomplished:

1) Won all 4 of his bowl games in his first four seasons. (40 - 3 vs. Miami, 41 - 14 vs. Notre Dame, 38 - 24 vs, Ohio State and 38 - 3 vs. Georgia Tech. That represents a collective margin of 157 - 44, impressive by anyone's standards.)

2) Reach the SEC championship game in his first season. (You can trot out the "with Nick's players" crap - but Nick didn't have to deal with anything like Katrina, Rita and their respective aftermaths.)

3) Until 2005, LSU had never beaten Bama, Auburn and Florida in the same season, even in Nick's 5 seasons here. The Tigers have already done it twice under Miles.

How does THAT reflect on Miles?

What ?? The man has had three top 5 teams ,two SEC West titles,an SEC title and a National Title.

Miles' tenure at LSU has been outstanding. There is nothing 'reflecting badly' on it.
