    We will still have idiots - they have already shown themselves - that will say that LSU should have come up with more money to offer Saban that whatever bama offers. The hell with a HC who just had back-to-back 10 win seasons. Let's dump him and offer the job back to Saban. :dis:

    Hopefully that does happen, but if Bama becomes better than LSU and consistently beats us it could lead to problems. But i got full confidence in Les that he'll continue his success here. :geauxtige

    Saban's going to Bama would be another challenge for Miles to overcome. Regardless of Saban's decision, though, next year is going to be challenging for the Tigers.

    They're losing the following Saban-recruited talent: Bowe, Davis, Dyakowski, Landry, Daniels, Pittman, and likely Dorsey and Russell. For the most part, Miles-recruited talent will have to step up and take these players' places.

    Can Miles win with his own players, especially at the skill positions? And what happens when the Tigers, perhaps led by Ryan Perrilloux, go into Tuscaloosa to face a Saban-coached Bama team in November '07?

    Lots of good story lines here. Miles has done a fine job his first two seasons. But next year he really starts to earn his keep. Especially in the eyes of those Tiger fans still nostalgic over Nick Saban. And even more so if Saban decides to go to Alabama.:lsup:

    He's already earned his keep with me.

    Yes, if Saban goes to Bama, turns them around and they beat us consistently it will be a major issue.

    However, I believe that it will be real tough for even Nick to turn them around quickly. If he is able to improve the quality of their recruiting, it will most likely come at Auburn's expense. But I think he will be starting way too late for this year. Plus I believe he will have less credibility with the kids after 'failing' in the NFL.

    Well, if this all is true, won't he replace Stoops as the highest paid coach?
    Maybe he can beat Boise State one of these years.

    Miles could beat Saban 62 - 0 and people would still complain. Its what they do. Heck, my sister's ex would probably be leading the charge.

    I agree, I will take coach Les Miles thank you very much. In the past 2 years I do not believe there is anybody in the coaching ranks that could have been more up to task than CLM. Think about it,look at the win vs loss. This man kept the team together after "The worst natural disaster in the history of the United States". And he wasn't even born or raised down South. The man has character beyond being a football coach and we are damned lucky to have him. Go Tigers and Go Les! :tigerhead :tigerhead

    Imagine if Miles loses the first two games against Saban...

    This fanbase will go insane.
