Case is closed ... Miles is a good coach. there's absolutely no argument on the flip side.

The argument should be over whether or not Miles is a "great" coach ... that's the only thing up for debate.

Anyone that says Les Miles isn't a good coach is just an idiot looking for attention.

True. That is why the Miles-Saban debate rages among LSU fans. Many LSU fans believe Saban is great whereas Miles is only good or even average, although there is nothing in Saban's overall record to indicate he is clearly better than Miles.

Saban took over an LSU program that had suffered through a long dry spell of not being in the national picture and made LSU relevant again. But for anyone to argue Miles has not done a good job of maintaining the program would be dumb. Miles may not be the most eloquent public speaker or raise enough hell on the sidelines to suit certain fans, but it is hard to argue with the end result, wins and losses.

This. And I would say he's very good.

More consistency is needed to be great. He's a great motivator and recruiter. He pulls out a lot of close games. He's great in coming from behind.

The flip side is: we shouldn't be in that many close games. We haven't had a dominant performance in a long time. Talent has bailed us in several games.

I am definitely a Miles supporter. This, to me, is very accurate though. 'Good' is a given to me at this point. 'Great' takes more time.
