Les' 31 Losses in Eleven Seasons... ETA Saban's 16 Losses in Five Seasons
Posted on 11/17/15 at 2:44 pm
Posted on 11/17/15 at 2:44 pm
Broken down by team and year:
Alabama (7) 2008, 2009, 2011 (bowl), 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015
Arkansas (5) 2007, 2008, 2010, 2014, 2015
Florida (4) 2006, 2008, 2009, 2012
Georgia (3) 2005 (SEC champ), 2008, 2013
Auburn (3) 2006, 2010, 2014
Ole Miss (3) 2008, 2009, 2013
Miss St (1) 2014
Kentucky (1) 2007
Tennessee (1) 2005
(3 non-conference) Penn State 2009, Clemson 2012, Notre Dame 2014
A friend and I were discussing how if we could take back about 4 losses in Miles' career, we would have another national championship, SEC championship and two major four bowl game appearances. Outside of Alabama and Arkansas, he has pretty much owned the rest of the conference. For the love of God, please finish strong Les!
After the discussion about Saban on the rant lately, I reviewed his losses while at LSU:

Sorry, but this is inexcusable for any coach at LSU with our resources and talent.

I'm not defending or bashing Les in this post, simply looking at his losses by year and team.

I understand. I'm saying Les' record against Arkansas is absolutely indefensible in every way.

Arkansas wasn't exactly fielding a bunch of scrubs from 2007 to 2010.

A disturbing trend seems to be emerging since 2012. Not many streaks intact since then.
edited so as not to forget our bitches to the west.

Take away the bama 2012 loss and the national championship is there for the taking.

Miles led LSU teams are undefeated after a loss EXCEPT when playing Arkansas.

This stat here is probably the most embarrassing of them all. The others will eventually happen every now and then but with LSU's talent level, 5 losses to Arkansas in 11 years is something nobody in their right mind can defend.

Cool man. I can add just 3 losses and we don't even win the SEC West a single time over a decade. That's not how things work.

Not exactly the teams you think LSU would go 1-3 against either.

I can do that to Bama in 4 games and they wouldn't have won the West since 1999. Make it 5 losses and they'd have not won the West since 1992. Not a very relevant comment.

Of note: 6 of those losses were to teams that won the national championship that year
Those are somewhat forgivable IMO
Some of the losses were real head scratchers that we definitely should have won and he deserves plenty of heat for that.
Most of those losses were to quality teams though. And most were very competitive games with a few exceptions.

2010 was the only excusable loss. We still choked the game away but it was a decent team on the road.

change of subject, but before the game they mentioned 5 night home losses, but I've seen the definition of "night" differ when discussing the stat.
Now it's 6 obviously, but are these the "night" games?
Alabama 2012, 2014
Arkansas 2015
Florida 2009
Miss St 2014
Tennessee 2005

Not so fast..... These sunshine pumpers could defend anything. Don't put it pass them.
