Year 7...............3....................1
Year 8...............1....................3
Year 9...............3....................3

# of losses in Saban's terrible final year at LSU that proved the program wasn't in great shape when Miles took over = 3

# of losses in 5 of 10 years under Les = 3 (or more)

Winning percentage is the only fair comparison because of the number of games played each year was different in the McClendon era.

So I guess what you're saying is that Les has a better record than McClendon because he's coached more games and has won more SEC Championships?

More food for thought: In McClendon's first 10 years, LSU finished in the top 2 in the standings twice. In Les Miles first 10 years, LSU has finished in the top 2 in the standings 7 times.

You know, since we're comparing.

Look. I've got my issues with Miles but, um, McClendon wasn't playing as many games per season nor did he go to as many bowls(because there weren't as many.

Yet, you're evaluating loss totals and not percentages. I mean, sorry. I like some Cholly Mac nostalgia, but your comparison is poor.
