re: This is the best team Les Miles has had while at LSU

I have a business contact who worked in the LSU athletic department under Saban for 2 years and Miles for 2 years. From everything he has told me about Miles I am very impressed with him as a person and can understand why he recruits so well.

He said Saban is a "mercedes guy" and Miles is a "town car" guy. Saban's car has to be just so while Miles' car is likely to have a bunch of pictures his kids colored in there. That said, I still think Saban is the better overall coach.

Funny story:

He and a co-worker walked down a hall every day and would see Saban walking head-down every day looking at papers. They always said "Good Morning Coach" as they passed, but Saban never spoke. One day he told his friend he wasn't going to talk to Saban b/c it was obvious Saban ignored them. As they passed him they said nothing. Saban stopped, turned, and said to them, "hey! where's my "good morning" dammit?!" They said he said it with a smile on his face so they could tell he was joking, but they still never felt he was approachable. Miles always seemed approachable though.
