re: Are LSU fans just spoiled?

It wasn't that much different for Saban then than it is for Miles now.

As far as bad outcomes in certain games went, I would agree. But overall, LSU fans didn't want another coach once Saban won the SEC (even more so after the NC win). I'm not saying all fans want another coach now, but some do and a number of others would not mind.

The truth is that Saban's personality was something that the fans identified with more. LSU fans go nuts during the games and they liked the way Saban coached - emotional, intense on the sidelines, correcting players during the game, getting after refs, etc. Miles is very laid back in comparison and mostly just talks on his head set during the game. He's very calm most of the time. Sometimes he can seem aloof. He's just kind of opposite of the average LSU fan. So I think that's an issue as well that comes into play.
