re: Has any coach ever done less with more?

They were exciting games but Alabama began to dominate. It really does come down to Les’ inability to adapt offensively. Gus and Kick Six led Saban to Kiffin and Sark. Les didn’t adapt. That 2015 game with Fournette being the prime example.

Now, tell me one other rivalry during the Nick Saban era that you can't say that about another team. Every year things change and as we look back they legitimately cost us dearly. But life seldom concedes to retrospective views, my friend.

I can say the same thing about BAMA and so can you. IF coach Saban doesn't fire our OC a week before the NC game, I submit we beat Clemson in 2016. Jalen Hurts needed Lane Kiffin. The guy knew him and he was a true freshman for goodness sake. Instead, we lost a big lead going into the 4th quarter and we must have punted 100 times in that game. We destroyed our defense's will with pure fatigue. IF Coach Saban didn't treat our DC in Pete Golding like he was his love child for 5 long years how many more championships do we have? The last time BAMA had the #1 defense in the land was in 2017 under Jeremy Pruitt. My God, Pete didn't have the sense to go after a true freshman Clemson QC in the 2018 natty. Pete Golding could not scheme the elite RPO teams and for 5 long azz years with our greatest offensive talent, we couldn't give Tua and Bryce a natty as starters. Unforgivable to keep Pete Golding. Coach Saban did that my friend.

Les Miles lost it down the stretch, with his Power I offensive concepts but his stubbornness also made him a tough nut to crack. Coach Saban was just as stubborn about his beloved defense and it cost us dearly and he was still the best the game has ever seen.
