And Miles doens't come in and win all those games if Saban hadn't turned it around.


But that's just pure speculation. Maybe Miles could have rebuilt LSU from it's dark ages without following in Saban's footsteps. We'll never know. Certainly citing to Miles' bowl record at Ok State does not lend credence to your argument that he is a terrible coach (Saban was 0-3 in bowls at Mich State).

While I agree that Saban is clearly the better coach, deriding Miles as a terrible coach because he's continued to win following Saban's departure is just dumb. Maintaining a winning program after the departure of a great coach is difficult. Don't believe me? Ask Ron Zook, Bill Callahan, Lane Kiffin, Larry Coker, etc. In fact, please name some examples where someone took over a powerhouse program and the program didn't miss a beat the way Miles has done at LSU.

He's not terrible, but certainly not top 5.
