So being on the brink
He's Cholly Mac with better recruiting.

Wow. Not even close to correct. Miles has to compete against far better coaches across the conference than McClendon ever did, and probably more talent as well. The SEC wasn't nearly the conference it is now. Bryant was the only really great coach that McClendon faced year in and year out. Even when he had as much or near Bryant's talent, he couldn't win. His record against teams with winning records, especially in the later years, was disappointing. Talent alone doesn't beat the kind of talented, well-coached teams that LSU regularly faces now. Just look at the recruiting rankings over the last few years. Teams like Florida, Georgia, Alabama have just as much talent, sometimes more. Yet Miles has held his own. As as been pointed out elsewhere he is above 50% against top 10 teams and 50% against top 5 teams. You don't post that kind of record on just talent.
