re: No Respect for Les Miles

He's 21-11 vs those coaches ahead of him in the Athlon poll that started this.

Obviously because they're so much better than him.

---

and how many of the losses are due to his failures as a gameday HC?

maybe all of them...

Coaches ahead of Miles in Athlon's Top 125 coaches:
1. Nick Saban, Alabama
2. Urban Meyer, Ohio State
3. Bill Snyder, Kansas State
4. Brian Kelly, Notre Dame
5. Steve Spurrier, South Carolina
6. Chris Petersen, Boise State
7. Bob Stoops, Oklahoma
8. Bobby Petrino, Western Kentucky
9. Frank Beamer, Virginia Tech
10. Gary Patterson, TCU
11. Mark Richt, Georgia
12. Pat Fitzgerald, Northwestern
13. Art Briles, Baylor
14. Brady Hoke, Michigan
15. Mike Gundy, Oklahoma State
16. Kevin Sumlin, Texas A&M
17. James Franklin, Vanderbilt
18. Charlie Strong, Louisville
19. Al Golden, Miami
20. David Shaw, Stanford
21. Mike Riley, Oregon State
22. Rich Rodriguez, Arizona
23. Dan Mullen, Mississippi State
24. Les Miles, LSU

Going by this this Miles should be no lower than #10. Some of the coaches he has above Miles are just plain "WTF".

do you all not remember the games he won with his ballsy calls. you all like to bring up the few losses. what about going for it with hester 5 times. what about the fake fg that beat fl. what about thr fake punt from our endzone in his first game against az st that won us that game. jesus you all are stupid. you think saban doesnt mess up. remember auburn with cam. they lost a fing 28 pt lead with half the game over. need i mention uab or ulm?

He hasn't had the decorations in the trophy case like Saban but last I checked the measure of a coach isn't just championships but the way he impresses on his players

---

the media couldn't give two shits about this.

what about going for it with hester 5 times.

if he was a better coach we wouldnt have been in that situation.

I love when idiots think they've figured out an oreo is a chocolate cookie only!

quote:

---

The LSU program,facilities and location will always provide us with great recruits and 10+ win seasons year in year out in spite of Miles' decisions

---

I find your argument flawed...Mark Richt who is ahead of Miles on this list is in a more fertile place(Georgia)to recruit than Miles....Georgia is a hotbed for top recruits every year(ask Saban) and they don't win as much as Miles teams.
Saban wins with the best players in the country...which makes for an excellent coach.. Miles should be given the same yardstick imo....

cause everyone kicked FL's arse in 07. Get fricking real.

Who's been better while at LSU? It's ok if you hate the guy but the numbers dont lie. Results biznitch. I know it's frustrating b/c many of you know you'd do such a better job or any other coach would make better decisions but who else has gotten us to those moments?

quote:

---

I actually think he out coached Saban in last season's loss

---

I guess you think a 60 minute game only comes down to the final minute? Watch the game again and tell me Miles "out-coached" anything but himself.

quote:

---

Miles is certainly better than Mark Richt in my opinion

Lets not forget Richt was on the hot seat about three years ago.
