Don't take Miles for granted....

Call me a homer or whatever, but since a fair few on this board love to bash on Miles and are never happy about the program, I decided to look at the best coaches that CFB has seen in the past decade or so at the school where they had their best run of winning.
The coaches were:
Nick Saban (Alabama) -------55-12 (82.09%) 11
Urban Meyer (Florida) --------65-15 (81.25%) 10.83
Jim Tressel (Ohio State) ----95-22 (81.20%) 10.56
Pete Carroll (USC) -----------83-19 (81.37%) 9.22
Mack Brown (Texas) ---------141-39 (78.33%) 10.07
Bob Stoops (Oklahoma) ----139-34 (80.34%) 10.69
Les Miles (LSU) ----------------76-18 (80.85%) 10.86
I think it's safe to say that these coaches have been widely reguarded as the best coaches in CFB during their respective tenures. The numbers next to them are overall records, winning %, and avg. # wins per season.
Call me a sunshine pumper or whatever, but for all you negatigers that call yourselves "realists", these numbers are real. Les Miles is at the same level as all these recent CFB coaches from the most successful AQ schools in the past 10 years or so.
We all get aggravated at some of the coaching decisions for whatever team we are invested in no matter what the sport. That said, if you are a LSU fan, you should enjoy the fact that your current head coach is one of the best coaches is CFB currently. If you keep taking Miles for granted, one day he will leave (for another job, retirement, etc.) and we will be hoping that the next coach comes in and gets the same results. Even though we all get mad, let's not forget how good we have it right now.
Somebody said it best on the recruiting board...
Miles is part genius, part idiot, and all tiger!
PS - Yes it is late and I wasted my time doing this becasue I was curious and figured I would share. I do have a life, but at 12:30am you think of random shite to do.

Solid post. Good info.

I agree with you.
It's strange that all that gets "forgotten."

Nice, good post.
But we gotta beat Saban.
Next season in Tiger Stadium should help a bit.

I wouldn't trade Les for any coach in the nation. He's led our program to an elite level and kept it there. With JJ gone we eliminate a huge hole at QB and Les wins his 2nd BCS Championship next year

I love CLM & always have. My opinions did not change of him after the NCG. Every coach makes mistakes along their careers. This will only make him better.
The grass isn't always greener on the other side. I remind myself of this every time I question what CLM is thinking.

Awesome thread. Thanks for sharing the numbers.
Coach Miles is welcome to stay as long as he wants IMO.

Nice post!
You can add that since 2005 LSU has the most wins among BCS programs and the most SEC wins...43-17 or 79%.
When you top all BCS programs in wins, all SEC programs in wins, and you winning/playing for SEC titles and national titles in your career at a school, why all the BS complaining and lack of apprecation???

You know this is all well and good, and most of us know that *CLM is a good, maybe even a great coach (sometimes). But given this fact, it doesn't mean we can't be frustrated out of our minds (given his high standing on your percentage chart) when he and his team turns in a performance like they did on January 9th.

Had Saban went to ANY other school, you wouldn’t hear near as much flack against LM.

The thing people have with Miles is that he doesn't instill confidence with maintaining LSU at an elite level. Even though he has all those great stats Miles has fans afraid once we slip up it's going to be a long fall and we get stuck in sort of in a gatekeeper role like what Georgia has been. We need a very very good year next year and a win over Bama to instill more confidence in the fans and to show the country that it's not Bama and the rest in the SEC.

The toughest part of this is - Miles made the right call with Perrilloux and this probably cost him 3 or 4 games, conservatively.
Just give him 2 from 2008/2009 and he averages 11 wins a season and is higher than everybody on that list, including the peck.

2 great moves followed by one giant, collosal frick up. Get used to it.
Miles plays chess by checking you twice followed by leaving by leaving himself open for a checkmate.

Great thread. Miles is the right coach for LSU and has done a fantastic job here. Sure there have been some hiccups here and there but no coach is immune to that. There are many posters on this site and LSU fans in general who don't know how to be happy. They are more than likely that way in all areas of their life. It is best to just ignore them and not waste your time with them. The fact that they are miserable is rewarding enough.
