[quote=dylbert]1. Win games you are supposed to win with Mike Shula's recruits.

2. Beat Auburn

3. Don't get embarassed by LSU

Nick Saban is too professional to not understand that he will not beat LSU with current talent. In 2009, when LSU returns to Tuscalossa, LSU should be afraid, be very afraid. Because all of Saban's talent will have departed LSU and all of the skill positions of Crimson Tide will be HIS recruits.[/quote]

Bama's got skill people! Grant and Coffee are doin the damage from the RB spot and shula wouldn't play them last year. shula didn't recruit linemen! IF Bama lineman start to go down, on either side of the ball, the season will go up in FLAMES FAST! they are thin and under-sized at LB too. i said 7-5, 8-4 at best, this year.

les miles will be gone from lsu after this season to take the michigan job. when he leaves Saban will rule the gulf coast in recruiting. shula GAVE AWAY Mobile and that was Saban's first trip after he accepted the job.
the SEC should be very afraid. ROLL TIDE !

i hope the speculation about miles is wrong...but we'll see. lsu is a damn good program, but michigan is special to him.

sigh

yeah, i know...an asst coach there as well. lsu bound to be special to him too, tho....right??
can't help wondering if he'd go if they do what they're projected to do--how DOES one walk away from a national title winner (if indeed they win it this year)?

lsu is just a stop along the way. he was only 3-4 years at okie st before baton rouge. he goes back to michigan, wins and is king for life.
lsu jrs & srs are still saban's players, most of miles guys aren't making an impact yet.

Disclaimer: although I live in Louisiana, I am NOT LSU fan. As much as it currently hurts, I am Ole Miss fan.

LSU is top 5 program. Why? They pay the BIG BUCKS to their head coach and assistant coaches. Before LSU supporters put real money out, they were merely giving lip service to being bigtime program. Saban brought credibility, class, discipline and structure into football rich region. And he delivered national championship. He cashed his chips in short NFL stay and has returned to his true calling.

I agree with earlier poster than 'Bama has talent -- just too little talent. Once Saban machine recruits two classes, watch out SEC & BCS!

Les Miles is interesting subject. He was OK at Okie State, but didn't set world on fire there. His Michigan roots might come calling. But, money talks & BS walks! Big Two (officially known as Big Ten) does not generate enough revenue to compete with SEC, Big 12, ACC, and even Pac 10 for best coaches. Les can play his hand out at LSU and then head north.

SEC will continue as NUMBER ONE football conference.
