If Miles was such a great coach, with such a head start, this sounds a lot like bullshit excuses. More like Miles feasted on luck and talent and Saban called him on his unsophisticated approach to the game. Saban and Alabama are not impenetrable regardless of how much you buy into them.
Look, Miles was a good coach. His problem was the game left him. He didn't adapt. You cannot take away what he accomplished, no matter how much you dislike him.
No he really wasn't. Great recruiter sure but you only need to look at the rosters he had and if you don't come to the "how in the hell did he win only 1 NC" thought well then you just can't see it. So no, not a great coach, an okay coach perhaps.
TigerTap Translation: Saban is the best and has the most talent. So settle for Les Miles you dumb ignorant LSU fans. You should be bowing down to Les for his job being second, well, er third er sometimes fourth in the SEC! Wait, what? You fired him?! What?! You guys are idiots for settling on Ed Orgeron! He can never come up short the way Les did! Les did it with character and integrity and RICHARD DICKSON.
Yeah I guess so. I just never thought of Les as a really good x's and o's type guy. Many will disagree and that is fine. Those that know football know that I'm right.
