Edit Article - Chris Low,ESPN:And if Saban is indeed college football’s premier coach, LSU’s Les Miles at least deserves to be in that conversation.
Sure, they’re as different as Anchorage, Alaska and Maui, Hawaii, but Miles is one of the few coaches who’s had some degree of success against the guy he followed on the Bayou.
