re: Les Miles projections - wins, losses, final season

the amount of suttle attempts to troll in this thread by you are ridiculous, i know you won't admit it but its pretty obvious

What do you think about Miles becoming LSU's all time win leader? Is it possible without another national championship? Is it possible if he only wins 9 games per year?

He'd never survive that,IMO.

who do you think we could get to replace him?

lets play this game after 08, who did you want that has won more than lm since 08?

i'm waiting.

Doesn't his contract run through 2017? So your saying he will sign another extension but not complete it? I think with the current administrations attitude toward championships Miles will be here as long as he wants. Winning Championships is not a stated goal of the administration. Being in the hunt is. So if he finishes 9-4 or 8-5 each year from here on out and is in the "hunt" for an SEC Championship, he is golden here. When Alleva said it is not about winning Championships but about being in the hunt for them, Miles seat was assured of never getting warm as long as he wins 8 games.

]8-5 9-4 isn't being in the hunt. Especially with an extra 10000 tickets to sell.

Les Miles projections - wins, losses, final season Posted by Ace Midnight on 10/11 at 3:20 pm We are at the mid-point of 2013. Assuming LSU has no problems with Furman, and takes 3/5 of the remaining conference games, that is a 9-3 regular season, and a likely mid-tier bowl. With Les' recent history, I can't assume the bowl win, but I spot him that. So, it looks like a 10-win season, and he'll be 95-24 (just a sliver under 80%) at the conclusion of 2013. That will also leave him just 42 wins short of tying (43 short of surpassing) Charles McClendon's 137 wins. At a modest rate of 9 wins per year, that puts Miles as the winningest LSU coach sometime in the middle of 2018 - and, he will have something like 40 to 42 losses to go with that, whereas Mac lost 59 (and tied 7). He's already at 80%, far in excess of any long-tenured LSU coach. Assuming that holds, I actually see him retiring at the end of the 2018 season. He'll turn 65 and probably start to have a few grandchildren popping up. Of course, that kind of money will be hard to walk away from, but I don't see him as the kind of guy who is driven by money. I also see him retiring in and around Baton Rouge, unless family issues drive a move. Thoughts? This post was edited on 10/11 at 3:32 pm Reply • Options • Back to Top

I think LSU will average 10 wins over the next five seasons

I expect LSU to win 4 of the last 5 this year. Calling the loss vs A&M. You can call me crazy, but I feel more confident about beating Bama than I so Florida. And I'm fairly confident about beating Florida.

In six of the last seven meetings (with of course the huge exception) LSU has outplayed Bama.

I see A&M declining next year with Manzeil gone for sure and Sumlin possibly gone.

So ill put us an average of 10-2 regular seasons the next five years. Say we get to two SEC-c and go 1-1, and five bowls and go 3-2. That's 54 wins

Unless he wins a national championship in 2018, I think he'll coach till age 67 or 68
