    JUST ****IN' STOP IT....

    the more you hang on to "Les Miles > Saban" deal just undermines your credibility... Post Saban, LSU won "in spite" of Miles.

    Don't get me wrong, I liked Les... I almost cried the day he was fired from LSU; rejoiced the day he was retained, only to weep yet again when he was re-fired... thankfully, they fukt it up worse with Ed O...

    Love ya, mean it, remind me to whack somebody for ya.... peace out.

    Dude, seriously....it is as clear as day that Saban is the best college coach ever. Clear.

    He?s done it in the most difficult era as well.

    Miles isn?t even on the map, he doesn?t even get considered for jobs. As far as Miles offense, he ran spread concepts before Saban with Jefferson then went to the power I stuff.

    LOL, this thread is hilarious. Saban is the best college coach ever, and it’s not even close. It seems nearly everyone knows this, except one Internet personality. Interesting.

    Saban left Miles around the same time Saban?s former players left Miles. End of story.

    Gotta give Saban credit he had the balls to pull hurts and go with the true freshman. Don?t know many other coaches that would?ve done that, if any. It worked out for him.

    Saban is amazing because not only does he have his team play at that level consistently regardless of the opponent but he is also willing to change it up. He has changed to more of a spread type offense at times. He is more likely to change than Mullen is. I hate Bama but you have to admire how hard and disciplined he gets his players to get after it every game with the exception of the LB last night who should have been thrown out of the game.

    Les Miles is closer to Tommy Tubberville than he is Saban. Just like Belichick developing his coaching until now he is at the top of the game, Saban at Michigan St and even LSU wasn't fully developed until Bama. It very well might have been something he learned at Miami that he incorporated or just finally figured something else out but Saban is a better coach now than he was at LSU.

    I thought it about it last night and could not come up with one single coach in this country that would've pulled a qb that has a 25-2 record and led his team to 2 straight NC games. It was an extremely gutsy call and one that could've backfired big time, but I guess he just proved once again why he is the greatest coach of this generation and maybe all time. I was beginning to think he might've slipped a little but I was wrong.

    Sometimes it is just a gut feeling and maybe just decided to go with his gut. Did anyone ask him why he chose to pull Hurts? I turned it off as soon as they won since it was already past 12.

    All you guys jumping on Coach34, but I agree with him 100%. It seems silly now, but the viewpoint is correct. Georgia quit playing, handed them the game. They did not pressure Tua for some reason I cannot imagine, I guess they assumed he would make freshman mistakes. The referees also royally screwed Georgia and changed the game.

    I have never seen a team that benefited from luck the way Alabama has. They are always the benefactor. They are never unlucky. Some of that is because of the talent level.

    Saban can coach fundamentals and is a relentless recruiter. It works at Alabama. He can leave a lot to be desired in-game. 9 times out of 10, benching Hurts would have been disastrous. Lady Luck was riding with them last night.

    Hurts is a good runner, doesn't read coverage well at all, his receivers make him look better than what he really is as a QB.

    Saban wasn't gonna win that game with Hurts playing the second half.

    Btw I would take Fitz over Hurts all day everyday and twice on Sunday! Imagine Fitz playing in the Bama system and Hurts in ours, no contest.

    I saw lots of pressure on tua. Tua escapes pressure a few times to make plays and stood in there big time and made throws on others. Georgia had 3 sacks... all on tua
