Nick Saban - 114-50-1 Bowl Record 4-5. Les Miles - 75-31 Bowl Record 5-2 keep in mind Nick Saban was head coach of Toledo also for 1 season with 9 wins. Miles has been a head coach at 2 different places in 1 really good conference, and 1 great conference. Once again, give me Miles.
Who gets credit for the Tigers' 7-5 unranked 2008 season? Fact is, Miles inherited a top 5 program with top 2 athletes. Saban, at Alabama, inherited a 3rd or 4th best SEC West team with maybe top 15 talent. One program is trending up, the other down. How far in either case, we'll see much clearer after this season.ldskule:
yeah me too. if i had to pick one it would be saban by a whisker, both i feel are top 10 coaches. and i actually "like" miles better.
Miles because he passed up a chance to Go Back Home and coach! He wants to be here! With Saban we would always be worried about where he was gonna turn his next trick. Saban is a WHORE that will follow the john with the biggest bank roll!
but he didnt. saban wouldve not had the famous interview before seccg (or would have had one and lied). the team wouldve lost to UT never won the NC and saban wouldve left.
Miles went 11-2 with the 9-3 team he inherited from your coach. This is all stuff we hear from Bama posers, you aren't fooling anyone.
That's because you were too busy pouting over your sanctions. LSU was investigated, and did loose scholarships while Saban was here. Do the research before you come spouting your crap here. Also, unless you are Les' agent or a high member of the LSU or UM athletic department, you don't have a clue what went on behind closed doors. I'm not saying he wasn't planning on leaving, but no matter what the circumstances, he chose to stay.
he clearly is fooling no one but ill play along. honestly I think i would have taken nick if not for those late season beatdowns. i just cannot handle that in bowl games after a very successful season. it puts a big damper on everything all during the offseason. call me crazy but i like to end on a good note even if its a season like last year--unless its for the NC. but then again, look at OU. they look like chumps but are in the bcs nat champ game every other year. ill take nick as my DC but forbid him to interact with anyone except during practice. ill hire les as my sideline coach but refuse to allow him to wear a headset. or influence my OC. hes free to interact with the players and parents and encouraged to do so. also, i dont want nick as HC when my team makes it to the NC again. conservative play calling will cost him if he ever makes it back. you can book that. but Les will be my fourth-down specialist.
