Mike in Mandeville, La., writes: I'm down on Nick Saban, but not for the reasons most LSU dislike him. I just need to look at the last play of his tenure at LSU, the Iowa "Hail Mary." Saban was DB coach and that garbage could happen? Nicky was always pulling boneheaded stunts, only saved by the awesome talent he recruited. Anyone remember his annual inability to pick a starting QB? How about UAB 13 LSU 10? The 2000 Arkansas game he failed to use a time out to punt with the wind and ended up with a 3-yarder to start the 2nd quarter? How about 4th & inches at his own 27 during the 2001 SEC title game? The dog show from 2002 that started in Auburn and culminated in the Cotton Bowl loss to Texas? 2003 Florida? UGa 2004? Nick seems to have learned a great deal from the NFL, but the poor in-game calls that cost LSU from 2000-2004 will always have Lil' Nicky No. 1 on my dog list!

He certainly picked out some calls that in hindsight could have been played beetter, but who doesn't have a few of those...

If he made a list of bad calls by saban and compared it to anyone else Im sure he'd realize that the list is rather small.

Saban definately has his flaws. He is far to conservative at time. When his teams start out fast and get a decent lead, he basically shuts off the offense and goes run, run ,pass. He also isn't a good motivator at all. That is his biggest flaw. Numerous times his teams have lost to far less talented teams. With all that said, he is still the best COLLEGE FOOTBALL COACH. I wonder how dominate he could've been had he been Texas's coach or USC's coach. It wouldn't have been fair.

Has Mike in Mandeville been asleep for the entire Les Miles era at LSU? Not to mention the 10 years prior to Saban's arrival at LSU? The 6 straight losing seasons we endured waiting for the magic to return?



Little Nicky is far from perfect and certainly has his share of embarassing losses but the butthurt is pretty strong in Mike's post.

Wasn't me.

I live in Beaverton, not Portland.

Maybe it was DucksFlyInPAC?



Not sure why the Duck fans would be butthurt about Saban though... maybe they're mad at him for blowing that 24 point lead to Auburn.

While a great coach at LSU, Saban has improved as a coach since his time in BR. I don't think he's lost a game at Alabama to an inferior opponent. Maybe the biggest blemish while in T-Town is Cam's comeback? And even that loss was to the national champions.
