    Truly, truly it pains me to agree with Ramah.

    I have to hand out an award for meaningless statistic ever on this one.

    Same winning percentage as saban.. this isnt the screaming endorsement that Joe wants it to be... Saban did more with less, Les is doing less with more.. Thats why they are meeting in the middle here.. (though after 4 games, whoop di doo)

    It was tongue-in-cheek. Although I think it is very possible that Les could have a better percentage at the end of 5 years than Saban.

    The thing is, Saban will be A HUGE reason for it since he left this program in such good shape.

    I do agree that my comment about Les was a very useless statistic. It was just something that i noticed when I compiled the list.
