re: If Saban goes to Texa$

Uh, no.

I like Miles' whole persona and all at LSU, but he's not the type of coach that Alabama would pursue in the highly unlikely event that Saban left.

I think with Saban, Alabama has found the type of coach that suits their program best. A disciplinarian, a details guy, and a relentless recruiter. Miles is a great recruiter, but he's a little bit more of a free spirit when it comes to the other two. He's a great foil for Saban, and I've really enjoyed the past few years of these two personalities facing off every November, but I could never see him coaching Bama.

IMO Kirby Smart, David Shaw, Jimbo Fisher, or maybe even a guy like Jim Mora.
