Without a doubt. I was stunned at some of the bad decisions Coker made last week against UT. For example, a least twice I saw him WAY outside the box and take the sack instead of throwing it away- which is why he has the INT's he does (7). Tries to force things.

Not sure how this is relevant other than to reiterate how Saban is the best coach in college football. So here are more stats. -Miles is 5-6 overall against Bama. -Saban has only lost 17 games since he has been there in 07' (not counting this year). Miles has 3 of those wins. No other coach has that many against Saban at Bama. If you take out 07' when Nicky had 5 losses, that leaves you with 11 losses in 7 years with 2 of those coming from Miles, Urban Meyer also has 2 wins against Saban at Bama (1 with Florida and last year with OSU in the playoff, Meyer is 2-2 overall against Saban). What does all of this mean? It means Saban is the best coach in college football. Granted, part of that is the nearly unlimited resources he has at his disposal. But regardless, the only two coaches in the world that have beaten Saban more than once are Les Miles and Urban Meyer. So, does that mean that Miles and Urban are 2A and 2B?
Hugh Freeze has beaten him twice, Tommy Tubberville has beaten him twice, Hayden Frye, Tom Osbourne, Steve Spurrier, Lloyd Carr, Joe Paterno, and Joe Tiller have all beaten him at least twice.
