To answer seriously......Les is unpredictable. Saban is not a great X's and O's coach. He is a Jimmy Johnson clone. I have heard Jimmy Johnson say numerous times that he wasn't a great X's and O's guy. His strength was evaluating talent. That is saban in a nutshell, IMO. He's not going to out-coach you very often. He is going to bring better talent into the game most times. Les takes crazy chances that seem to work most of the time. saban's crazy chances seem to backfire on him. That is my take on it anyway.

Actually, we've done nothing crazy against Auburn in the last few years. Last crazy thing that comes to mind is Byrd's touchdown catch with 1 second left in 2007.
Chavis just has a better defense than Saban.

Saban is considered by many to be a defensive genius. His schemes have led Alabama to consistently field top five defenses. He may not be very good with the X's but he's hell with the O's. Kirby Smart is just implementing what Saban taught him.
