Miles is 53-15 at LSU and during that same time Richt is 49-18. If Richt was our Head Coach with that kind of record, would he be under as much scrunity as Miles is now?


If he had come to LSU when Miles did and had the record he has at Georgia since then, yes, he'd be in at least as much trouble as Miles is now.

If I were a Georgia fan, I would not be happy with the last couple of years, nor the start this year, but the reason he's in better shape at Georgia now than he would be at LSU having started here in 2005 is that he actually built the program at Georgia into a powerhouse before letting it decline. He's proven he can take them from the level they are now (or thereabouts) to the level they were in 2002-2007, so they have hope that he can do it again.

The only reason that Miles is on the hot seat is because of Saban. Nothing else even comes close, all that other stuff is used to give everyone something to talk about to diguise their true feelings about it. If Saban was elsewhere other than Bama or another SEC team he would be given the slack. He is the winningest Coach LSU has ever had and to emagine just 10 short years ago Miles would be seen as a hero and there would be no negative going on at all and for anyone to refuse to admitt this is just lying to themselves.

Think about it 53-15 @ .779 or 78%! He would have this job for the rest of his life. After 6 years every Coach in America would love to have that record. Everyone wants to keep brining his record at other places but, that has nothing to do with what he has done here over 6 years he has been here. He has had no loosing record since being here has not even come close. The idea that individuals thinks he is going to be gone at the end of this year you are kidding yourself. Who else is there out there wants this job other than Tubbs at T Tech, that is a joke he is worse than anyone else you could even think of. I think he goes undefeated this year he will be here for as long as he wants this job or gets tired of hearing all this negatisum thrown at he and his family. That would be 63-15 .80769 or 81%

The only Coaches that would even consider this job would be all cheaters, someone who has put their previous school on probation for breaking the rules, is that what you want?

wait a second though UGA was a media darling compared to LSU even after we won in 03. UGA fans still think they were the better team in 03 and 07. Richt has underachieved at UGA since 03. Plain and simple. He had arguably more talent than lsu did up until 07. And no Richt prob wont be on the hot seat until after this season. His seat is warming up though. Oh and i would take miles over richt any day of the week.
