*Since 2005 when he became head coach, Les Miles has won more games overall than any school in the SEC.
*Les Miles’ winning percentage of .802 is not only the best in LSU history, it is the fifth best in the history of the Southeastern Conference.
*Under Les Miles, 167 players have gotten college degrees. LSU’s graduation rate during that tenure trails only Vanderbilt.
I am becoming a Miles basher of sorts due to his recent struggles with the big games. But I'm not going to say he doesn't deserve to be one of the highest paid coaches in NCAA. Stoops and Brown have struggled more in big games and he is making the same. All this being said, if he can't get us over the top in the next 2-3 years, I want him gone. He is meeting all of our goals, except winning the big ones.

Problem with this is, if he does not accomplish this he will still have 3 or 4 years left on the contract that will have to be paid (assuming the next 3 years he does not receive another extension), thanks to the most recent contract extension and raise. This is why I had a problem with the raise. It's not so much a problem with the money, but the years. If he proves to keep trending downward, LSU will have to hire a new coach and pay Les (who at this point would have grossly under achieved). I think Les will pull it all together in the next year or two, but if he does not, this site may need therapy.
