re: Criticism of CLM

When the best results LSU has had in our history, the best results for wins in BCS/SEC football since 05, and national rankings of #1, #2, #3, #5, #8, and a current #6 is no longer good enough
for LSU in the minds of some, well...the criticism some seem to like to wallow in is simply agenda driven BS or a lack of college/SEC football smarts.imo

Perspective like yours is woefully lacking in many of the negas. Seeing the OP's responses lead me to believe he was obviously trolling, but it really lacked perspective. Like the man said, effectively his argument boiled down to one game (no matter how big the game was, nor how valid the argument might be).

LSU has been in 43 bowl games - 7 coached by Les Miles (which is effectively 1 in 6), and headed to 8 out of 44, or 1 out of every 5 1/2 bowls. Assuming we go to a bowl game after the 2013 season, Miles will have led a full 20% of LSU's bowl teams. Les is 5-2 in bowl games thus far, reponsible for just under 20% of LSU's bowl victories. Should he prevail in a bowl in 2012 and 2013, he will be responsible for almost 1 in 3 LSU bowl victories. Les is very close to eclipsing Bernie Moore as the number 2, all time in wins - while impressive enough, is waaaaay down the list on losses. Not that Curley Hallman is the gold standard of coaching, by any stretch, Miles has led more LSU victories since October 2011 started than Hallman did in 4 seasons, and may retire before he registers as many losses.

But for a couple of exceptions here and there, Miles has the market cornered on top 5 finishes as the head coach of LSU.

Perspective - get some - it's good for you.
