Seriously, this stupid crap has to stop. One year after an NC and significant departures, LSU went 9-2 in the regular season and was a missed extra point and bogus rule away from being another SEC title game.

Miles, on the other hand, went a resounding 7-5 following his NC with LSU's first losing record in the SEC in 9 years. There is a significant difference there. LSU will likely have another losing SEC record this year, and it would be Miles' second in 7 years.

Stop acting like the 2004 season was so horrible because LSU lost in a stinking bowl game.

Miles is a decent coach and has done well. If not for his stubbornness and arrogance, he COULD have multiple championships here, but he's simply not good enough to do that. His predecessor changed his ways to now be a dominant force at Bama.Malzahn and Chizik in 4 years have matched Les' 9 year accomplishments at LSU in regards to title games/championships and didn't get embarrassed in their NC loss. Think about that.

Precisely which top coaches aren't stubborn ( whatever in the Hell that means) and arrogant?
You types who have never succeeded on a big stage don't know the difference between being stubborn and having faith in your abilities. You mistake arrogance for self-confidence.
Which is why the top dogs make the big bucks and people like you whine and beotch on message boards.

Why were we in that position? Why did Saban lose to an inferior team twice? 3 times if you count Iowa. I thought you could plug in any coach and win every game at LSU with the talent we have?

So, name a few others besides Saban and Malzahn.

I don't mind being him being compared...but there aren't many who've accomplished what he has at LSU.

Think about that

Please don't bring in Chizik. He also was the head coach of a team that went 0-8 in SEC play. Also, check the record of Malzahn's #2 finish. He went 12-2 with a close loss in the championship game. In his other loss, he was beat by 2 td's. Miles went 13-1 and dominated everyone on the schedule except for BAMA at BAMA, and in the championship game. In the championship game, I also feel no one would have beaten BAMA that night.

Miles inherited a program that was the class of the SEC West. 2001 we won the SEC. 2002 Arkansas beat us on a hail mary to win the West (yes I know we beat Kentucky on one as well). 2003 LSU dominated the West and won the BCSNC. 2004 LSU was one play away from winning the West. The team had won two SEC Championships, 1 BCS Bowl Game (2002 Sugar Bowl) and the BCSNC within the five years prior to Miles taking over.

Especially since Miles's bowl record (which used to be a bragging point) has become rather suspect.
