Les Miles will never beat Nick Saban again, therefore LSU will never win the West

    Stands at 30% now but if you apply the Law of Inverse Diminishing Results that number will go down each year until the actions of external forces remove one or more of the variables - Either Nick or Les retires or Les gets fired

    They've coached against each other 10 times. Les has won 3. That's 30%.
    2007
    2010
    2011

    Les lost in 2008 and 2009. Then lost the BCS Title game at the end of 2011. We've lost to Bama in 2012, 2013, 2014 and now 2015.

    Possibly. Or Saban leaves Bama. But at this point 10 games is a large enough sample size to measure them against each other.

    I really don't think Saban will leave Bama until he decides to retire. He looks tired. I don't think he wants another challenge like rebuilding USC or Texas. They would have to make an offer that Saban really really couldn't refuse.

    Les ain't winning the next 3, LSU may win next year because that front 7 will probably all be in the NFL next year but even if they are that's no guarantee.

    Next year Chavis won't be in Tiger Stadium to "choke" the lead he was given going into Alabama's last possession of the game.

    True but think about the defense for a second. No more LaCouture, no more Jones, probably no Beckwith, and no Tre White. Duke fucking Riley will probably be your starting middle linebacker. If that doesn't make you want to put your head in the sand nothing will.

    Oh and Jalen Mills is gone too.

    at least we were in position to lose the game, Steele has done such a horrible job that we don't stand a chance with Les' brutally inept style of offense
