Overall record of 70-17

Conference record of 38-15

Out of Conference record of 26-0(not including bowl games)

Bowl game record of 5-1

SEC Championship game record 1-1

Home record of 41-6

Road record of 23-9

Against out of conference opponents ranked in the Top 25, record is 11-1

Speedy can correct me if any of these are incorrect. This is thru the Auburn game.

Pretty amazing. 80% winning percentage.

Won one SEC championship and a BCS National Championship.

Charlie Mac was fired for winning 79% of his games. He had one BIG problem.... He couldn't beat the Bear from Alabama.

How anyone could think Saban was a better coach is beyond me. I was not a believer in the beginning, in fact I openly said I thought he was a terrible coach. All I can say is what a mistake on my part.

More with Les

this is the key. CLM wins the right games. He understood that LSU MUST compete for the SEC and National Championship EVERY year if he wants to be successful. He has done that more regularly than any coach has at LSU. He is also lights out thus far in recruiting. As my sig says, "IT'S GREAT TO BE A TIGER FAN!"

Cholly Mac won 67% of the games at LSU... still a good percentage, but it wasn't 79%.

Nobody could beat the Bear in the 1970's. mac got in trouble win LSU was picked to win the SEC title in 1974 and went 5-5-1, then 6-4-1, 8-4,8-4 and 7-5. Also, LSU was picked to win the NCAA championship in '72 (Bert's senior year)and went 9-2-1 and lost to Tennennesse in the Astro-Bluebonnet bowl. Lost to Tulane in 1973 and after winning their first 9-games lost their final three.

Les Miles era at LSU


the numbers don't lie. as good a coach as saban was/is, IMHO Miles multi faceted personality and depth of character make him a person who inspires and teaches his kids to play with controlled aggression on the field and to face their responsibilities off.

when the old lady says, "show me the beef"....Miles doesn't bring a burger....he brings the herd.

Well to be fair there wasn't 30 something bowl games like they have now. Les' record is pretty incredible.
