Bitter much? Sounds like the SEC fans can't figure out why they can't beat “Les the Moronâ€Â.
Miles has the second best record in college football since 2005 (the year he started @ LSU). Miles has a winning record against Meyer (hell, made him cry), Spurrier, Fulmer, Tubby, Saban, and Beamer -- yet Miles is a complete idiot who can't keep his hat on straight.
Before Miles, has any coach ever beaten Auburn, Bama, and Florida in the same season (with an excellent chance to add Tenn or UGA to the list)? Certainly not Saban. Saban couldn't even beat Bama and UF in the same season - - and Zook and Shula were the coaches for those teams.
LSU had only one scholarship QB on its roster against 'Bama because of suspending Ryan P for a fight w/ bouncers. Miles did the right thing and told his star player to stay home.
Can't say the same for Urban Legend Creyer Meyer, who has faced a discipline issue the week before the past 2 games against LSU. What did Meyer do? He didn't sit out safety Joiner in 2007, who had been arrested for breaking into the impound lot. In 2006, he didn't sit out his stud DT, who tested positive again for pot just before the game. You tell me which coach has more character. Guess Miles is just a moron.
As for the Gumps' comments about Miles being out coached, well, that's one way to look at it. The other is the Saban couldn't coach his top 20 team to a win despite LSU's going on the road and giving up three turnovers, a punt return allowed for a TD, and 130 yards in penalties. Saban had the better QB, the most productive WR in the SEC, and Alabama got SIX first downs thanks to penalties on LSU. Despite all of that, Bama couldn't get the victory in its own back yard. LSU brought its "D-minus"game, gave Bama every chance, and yet Saban couldn't coach his team to a victory. So who's the better coach?
When the game was on the line, the Defensive Genius went into prevent D, and gave up the win. When the game was on the line, the “Moron Mad Hatter†attacked Sarah Jessica Parker w/ blitzes, ultimately causing a sack and a fumble. Who won that coaching battle?
Saban's team gave up 2 TDs in the final 3 minutes. Miles scored 40 + points on the Defensive Guru in his own house!
Bama paid about $333,333 to Saban for this coaching performance. You think they got their money's worth?
As to references about the players Saban left at LSU for Miles, well Saban was 25-10 in his last 35 games at LSU. Miles is 30-5 thru the same number of games (against a harder schedule, not to mention Katrina). Guess Miles is coaching "Saban's recruits" better than Saban coached "Saban's recruits". Wonder if LSU can work out a deal to get Saban to recruit and Les to coach'em.
The whole "Saban's recruits" is just silly. You think Doucet or Dorsey would have gone to any school other than LSU? Saban's gets credit for brining in only a couple of those kids - - Jackson and Highsmith. Basically, the rest of "Saban's recruits" are LA kids that grew up in the shadow of Tiger Stadium. That's like high fiving yourself for having sex w/ your wife. You're suppose to get those kids.
I won't even go into how stupid it is that the whole premise of the argument is that all you have to do is recruit the kids, and that practice and game day coaching has no part in winning. Texas and USC have as much, if not more talent than LSU, but where are they right now? Are they in the top 5? Have they beaten 6 ranked teams this year (LSU has)? No on all accounts. Hmmmmmmmm. Remind me again whose player Meyer won w/ last year? Were those Meyer's or Zook's recruits? How is Meyer doing this year w/ a few less Zook recruits? Congrats on UF finally getting bowl eligible. Enjoy the Music City Bowl.
But even with them, if Richt got them to national championship level, it would hurt us more than it would help us.
