    Remember a few years ago when the new ND Head coach was busted for lying on his resume??? He lost the job, so yes, integrity does count.

    If you don't think that matters to Les, rewind the tapes of a coupe of years ago for an impromtu Press conference before the SECG, and "have a great day"!!

    As a tactician I really don't think saban is all that. What he is good at is getting coaches, players, media, and fans on a single point; how great he is. The way he is treated one would think he personally won all the MNCs that the SEC gathered over the past couple of years. If something goes wrong you will always find where it was his responsibility, but really someone else's fault.

    He gets others to doubt themselves and ignore his shortcomings. That is his genius. That is how he wins. That is how he prospers.

    I think Saban is a better X's and O's coach and motivator. he is a regular butthead... which can motivate people sometimes lol. Saban can get conservative sometimes

    I think Les has alot of player appeal and is some what more of a gambler, although he has shown some weird play calling at times, whether it be him or his OC.

    Les has MILES more integrity.

    the both look like they recruit about the same, although the jury is not COMPLETELy in on that, the time is gettin close were it will be.

    In the end, coaches arent measured by integrity, sadly, they are measured by wins and losses. So far Miles has just as many as Saban, so for now all is good.

    time will tell. be patient and all will be made known ;)

    how much of this Miles criticism has been based on that whole crap thing that he "won with saban's players"? Do you think that this is stuck in the craw of LSU fans that are calling for Miles to leave, or downing him because of last year and the 4 wins this year?
