Miles is 7-7 in his last 14 SEC games dating back to last season. Even if he wins out thats a 56% win percentage in conference games. Not good enough, not even close. Whats really alarming is last season was his first season with "his" players.

So you are really saying that if LSU goes 6-2 in the SEC this year this season is a failure???

Jesus man.

"His" players coming off a BCS championship. After removing RP from the team (as he should), Miles had to go to a transfer QB, a redshirt freshman QB, then to a true freshman QB. Not to mention the trainwreck of co-defensive coordinators, which he has greatly improved upon in the last year with Chavis, Haley and Cooper.

Sure the QB progression isn't there yet. But who thought Jefferson and/or Lee would light it up in 2009? The run game suffers because of the passing game ineffectiveness. LSU has had offensive firepower in the last 7-8 years. No reason they can't return.

I'd also like to point out that the 2005 recruiting class was limited by the departure of Saban and the hiring of Miles. This didn't leave much time to make up ground on those who abandoned the commitments. 2006 class was solid, 2007 was great, etc. It takes time to get that class back.

The only complaint I have is the offensive line attrition. That has to improve if LSU is to dominate the line of scrimmage again.

We started the year hearing bout the decline of LSU football as demontrated by the conference record of last year. Since we can't talk bout a decline any longer cause this years conference record will be better and the team is highly ranked 10 weeks into the season, the discussion now is shifted to include the last two years as a cause for concern. Good try, but no sale.

If we gonna talk winning percentage for the last 2 years, lets talk winning percentage for his 4+ yrs which is the best in the history of LSU football.
