If Nick Saban had never come to Alabama, it is likely that Les Miles would be hailed as one of the greatest coaches of his era, and the SEC,hell all college football would have been Pax LSU.

Alabama has everything you need to win big,maybe more so than almost anywhere plus a very football friendly administration. Saban saw this and he has taken advantage.

Over the ages Alabama has won big. Wallace Wade and others in the early era. Of course Paul Bryant. Gene Stallings. Even Dennis Franchione was beginning to build things and would have done very well without the sanctions.

Get out of here with that crap.

Les Miles Epic Fail 2009 Ole Miss

With 26 seconds left only needing a FG, he didn't have another play called and let 15 seconds run off the clock with a timeout in his pocket and then ended up using that very timeout with 9 seconds left. Then after a miracle completion he didn't have his FG unit ready to win with a chip-shot and let the clock run out.

Happened again the very next year vs. Tennessee after a clock manager was hired to count for Les.

But yeah, best coach ever.

Alabama was the best job in college football before Saban went there. There are other schools with more money but those schools won't pay you as much as Alabama nor give you any and everything you need to win like Alabama will. It takes a coach with a supreme ego to be the HC football coach at Alabama and be successful at it.
