Mike in Mandeville, La., writes: I'm down on Nick Saban, but not for the reasons most LSU dislike him. I just need to look at the last play of his tenure at LSU, the Iowa "Hail Mary." Saban was DB coach and that garbage could happen? Nicky was always pulling boneheaded stunts, only saved by the awesome talent he recruited. Anyone remember his annual inability to pick a starting QB? How about UAB 13 LSU 10? The 2000 Arkansas game he failed to use a time out to punt with the wind and ended up with a 3-yarder to start the 2nd quarter? How about 4th & inches at his own 27 during the 2001 SEC title game? The dog show from 2002 that started in Auburn and culminated in the Cotton Bowl loss to Texas? 2003 Florida? UGa 2004? Nick seems to have learned a great deal from the NFL, but the poor in-game calls that cost LSU from 2000-2004 will always have Lil' Nicky No. 1 on my dog list!

He certainly picked out some calls that in hindsight could have been played beetter, but who doesn't have a few of those...

If he made a list of bad calls by saban and compared it to anyone else Im sure he'd realize that the list is rather small.

One of the best calls he made was again Fla when they stomped on the Eye and Saban did an on-side-kick and scored to start the game. He had never gambled before at LSU. Other than that, I did not like Saban at LSU and still don't like Saban and Bama has nothing to do with it. I will not go to Miami. I will not go to Alabama.

Saban definately has his flaws. He is far to conservative at time. When his teams start out fast and get a decent lead, he basically shuts off the offense and goes run, run ,pass. He also isn't a good motivator at all. That is his biggest flaw. Numerous times his teams have lost to far less talented teams. With all that said, he is still the best COLLEGE FOOTBALL COACH. I wonder how dominate he could've been had he been Texas's coach or USC's coach. It wouldn't have been fair.

I'd qualify this statement to say he isn't a good motivator for inferior opponents.

I think you're thinking of Auburn 2003... We only scored via punt return in our 7-19 loss to UF in 2003 and we lost 15-44 at home in 2001 and scored our first TD in the 2nd quarter.
