This is my point (and has been for the past hour) you tell me if you agree or disagree. Lsu 1-105 when les miles arrived >> Lsu 1-105 when nick saban arrived?

If that's your point in a discussion comparing the caliber of two coaches TODAY, that's where your fundamental problem is.
There is no doubt that...
LSU today > LSU in 2000-2005 > LSU before 1999
Saban today > Saban 2000-2005 > Saban before 2000

That said, Saban has become the measuring standards of college coaching greatness these days (I'm CREDITING him here). And, then when you throw Miles' record against him with both fielding equally talented teams (though the recruiting gurus give the edge to Bama), it is hard for many to fathom that he's not too far behind Saban. That is, if 6 years is a good time frame for comparison!

That's the thing...I wasn't debating the coach they are today. I said something about miles inheriting more talent and people came out of the woodwork to point out all of the talent saban inherited, while I never said saban didn't inherit some talent I just said miles inherited MORE talent. People got pissy about that
