Just to put perspective on coach Miles.....

Does he make mistakes? Yes. God yes he does.

Is he stubborn and frustrating? Yes, sometimes.

Is he a great coach? Yes.

Will he go down as an LSU legend? If he stays another 5-10 years, I think so.


Let's play a game, I'm going to list some coaches' records in a 8 year span. Since some say Les inherited a great program, I skipped to a coach's 3rd or 4th season to give them a chance to build up their program for comparison.

Here is coach Miles:

05- 11-2
06- 11-2
07- 12-2 (12-0-2 for comparison's sake)
08- 8-5
09- 9-4
10- 11-2
11- 13-1
12- 11-2--PREDICTED


COACH A

9-1-1
11-0
10-1
6-4
7-4
6-4
9-1-1


COACH B

11-1
12-1
10-1-1
10-2

11-1
11-2
12-0


COACH C

11-0
10-1
8-2
4-5-1

COACH D

10-1

Now, without looking it up, how would you order these coaches based on this 8 year span?

Here's mine:

Coach B

Coach A
Coach C


After a few orders, I will reveal who is who.
