With a 5-3 record in Bowl Games at LSU, Do you consider Les a good bowl coach?

We looked great against Miami, GTech, Notre Dame, Ohio ST,and Texas A&M in past bowl games, but terrible in losses to Penn ST, Bama, and Clemson. I have to say that I dont have much faith in our staff when it comes to closing out the season. I think alot of that has to do with players expecting to be in title games and somewhat mailing it in with the lesser bowls. They give the effort but I wonder if they lack concentration in the preparation. Same goes for the coaches. I hate to see us not show up when we are the only game on during bowl season and we have a chance to really showcase what LSU football is all about.

Penn State is not his fault. The others are.

Yes he is a good coach period. We lost 2 bowl games in a row, one of which happened to be the National Championship. It happens.

Less Miles is a good man, even the players say so.

He's 1-3 in his last four bowl games. Not excellent.

all blowouts

Penn ST, Bama, and Clemson
Penn ST 2pt loss
Clemson 1 pt loss
Bama obviously worst bowl performance but look at the circumstance.
Yes Les and the staff are "good bowl coaches"

4-0 first 4 years
1-3 next 4 years
I wouldn't say good or bad. I'd say average.

Good yes, great, no. I give him a pass for the cap one bowl in the mud, but the "O" vs clemson and bama was dreadful.
I guess saban was no better though with losses to UT and Iowa.

I know I'm in the VAST minority on this one, but I don't judge Les Miles (or any college coach for that matter) based on their bowl game performances (other than the BCSNCG). For me, all bowl games other than the BSCNCG are essentially glorified exhibition games played at the end of the season. Win or lose the result is still the same, you're not the National Champion, nor or you any closer to being the National Champion for that season. It's not like Clemson advanced to any sort of "next round" by winning the Peach Bowl. Conversely, it's not like LSU lost out on any chance to advance to a next round by losing the game.
I judge Les on his solely on his regular season/SECCG and BCSNCG performances. While I always want to see LSU win any game, his record in non-BCSNCG's doesn't sway my opinion of him one way or the other.

Saban lost two bowls games in 5 years at LSU. Texas and Iowa.

We lost by one to a final top 10 11 win team, and by less than a TD to a 10 win PSU.
We were prepared and motivated for both games. We lost. It happens.
Even in the sham of a rematch, we were down by only 12 in the 4th quarter against THE GREATEST COACH EVARRR INVINCIBLE WITH 4WEEKS TO PREPARE blah blah blah
Miles is a GREAT bowl coach.
No worries whatsoever there.
