Post 1/9/12 up until this past Saturday Miles was a barely functioning retard with a good heart, but now he's the best available option and being compared to Bear Bryant.
I'll say it again, this place has finally reached maximum retard potential.
Who has said that? Which fan base?
I wasn't Aggy. We have said all along that your problem is Joe Allegra let your best coach get away and has not be smart enough to pony up the dough for a top-notch OC. Have you missed our narrative?

Now you same people are calling LSU crazy for wanting to make a change and comparing him to Bear Bryant?
In his first 142 games at LSU, Les is 110-32 overall and 60-27 in SEC play.
In his first 144 games at UA, Bear was 108-27-8 overall and 65-20-5 in SEC play.

It was more than just offense. Bryant recognized that a certain era and type of player that dominated that era was over.
are you talking about white people?

Bama fans lecturing any other fan base is like Jared Fogle telling people how to behave around kids.

It's ridiculous. All they need is a change in offensive philosophy. There are only 4 seniors on the team and right now Miles has the number one recruiting class. Texas should hire him if they fire him and he will do huge things out there.

Whats funny is people actually believing he's getting fired. Aint happening. but I guess its a boring rivalry week.

Because there wasn't a mass exodus or anything at the end of the 3rd beginning of the 4th during the Ole Miss game this year.
“I’m so embarrassed by yesterday’s loss,” Stephens said in the video. “I’m so mad about yesterday’s loss, and the funny thing is I’m not even upset with the players. I’m upset with the fans. Our fans booed our own players. Our fans left early. And our fans are wanting Nick Saban to leave.”
What a difference a few weeks makes. In Bama's case, for the better.

I remember back in the early 90's Tom Osborne at Nebraska lost 3 games for several years, getting blown out in many of them, and the fans wanted him gone. The AD and powers to be stayed with him and he won back to back nation championships a couple years later.

People wonder why the SEC is currently a colossal mess. The pressure fans put on coaches is insane. It drove Urban Meyer and Steve Spurrier (Florida Spurrier not USC Spurrier) out of the SEC. Auburn got rid of a coach that finished in the top 15 four out of the previous five years than they got rid of a coach two years after winning a NC. They'll probably get rid of Gus in two years as well. Than you have LSU forcing out a coach with a .775 winning percentage, a .690 winning percentage against conference competition and had a team ranked #3 in the country just three weeks ago. Why the hell would any good coach want to coach in this conference?

Bryant was actually stubborn as hell regarding his offense and refused to change. People had said the game has passed him by an he can't keep up.Then he went to Texas to Learn the wishbone.
quote:
In 1971, Bryant began engineering a comeback to prove that he still had it. This included abandoning Alabama's old power offense for the newly fashionable wishbone formation. (Darrell Royal, the University of Texas at Austin football coach who invented the wishbone, taught Bryant its basics, but Bryant developed successful variations of the wishbone that even Royal had never used.) The change helped make the remainder of the decade a successful one for the Crimson Tide.
