Who is on his back? We love Miles. It seems Bama fans are the only ones who doesn't think he's a good coach.

I don't think Les really cares. He's gets to walk past a crystal football that he led his team to every day. It speaks for itself.

this will never end. folks wont let it die and we cant kill it. i personally dont want the man back, as if i had a say in the matter. i for one never actually got a handle on the "real" nick saban as far as his mind set. he did alot of saying this way and doing that. i tend to get frustrated with people like that. its better to focus on the football. excellent coach- took us to the promised land, delivered a crystall fball. flopped in the nfl...happens sometimes with coaches switching to pro ball. he's at bamma now and as far as rivals he is my enemy.
i pray he fails but admire any job well done----verdicts still out on that last.

Ahhh the bleacher report....that's pretty credible.

Can't wait until this season is over when Gump fans will be making excuses for a 3-4 loss season instead of trying to get us riled up.

No, sorry. At no one in particular actually. Just all the people who won't let it go (like the guy who wrote the blog or the multitude of Bama fans I live around )

Nick Saban is a great coach, but I view him pretty much like this: we used him (hello, national title!). He used us (we made his reputation). We left the money on the dresser and he took it on his way out.

So, no, I don’t want the whore back. He may be a high class call girl, but he still was one. Now, I think Saban is completely honest when he says he's in it forever at Bama, now that he's bombed in the NFL. I think he does think it was a mistake and we'd all do it differently if we could. But we can't.

I think Les Miles loves coaching LSU. I think Nick Saban prefers coaching college to the NFL. It just so happens he coached LSU from 2000-2004. I think it was the college game he missed;not LSU.

I'm tickled with a man who loves and wants to coach LSU. Maybe Saban feels that way about Alabama.

I agree. I think he needed to coach in the NFL to know that. He used LSU to reach his dream of making the NFL and found it wasn't what he thought it was. So he went to Bama.

I honestly don't hate the guy or anything, but I never loved him, so it didn't hurt me that much when he didn't return our love.

Wait, you're joking right? An article off of Bleacher Report from an Alabama fan claiming to know what LSU fans want? THIS IS WHY THE NATION MOCKS ALABAMA FANS!

Of course he will write whatever drivel he can muster about LSU. Without reading the article, I can tell you he will write anything to bolster the reputation of his boy St. Nick. Typical Gump -- if the Tide lose one game this year (heaven forbid to LSU) this poor sap will be on the ledge holding his stuffed elephant in his houndstooth pjs.

Ya, he's said that a bunch of times. He'd say it today if you asked him.
