Losses in the Les Miles Era

Pretty good list. I blame Miles on all of them!

1. Arky 07
2. Ole Miss 09
3. Bama 11
4. Tennessee 05
5. Kentucky 07
6. Auburn 06

That list is why Miles is the perfect coach for LSU. The one thing a football coach at LSU or a politician in Louisiana cannot be forgiven for is being boring. And LSU under Miles has been anything but boring.

That tennessee game was awful. I felt good going in witha 21 - 0 lead at half then it happened.

Interesting that those 6 are exactly 1/3 of the total amount of Miles' losses in his 7 years at LSU. I would include the 2010 UT victory, and 2007 UK OT loss.

Meanwhile, Saban had his share of meltdown losses in just 5 years at LSU:
2000 Auburn, UAB, Fla. (esp. UAB)
2001 Ole Miss, Fla. (esp. Ole Miss)
2002 Va.Tech, Alabama, Auburn, Arkansas, Texas
(esp. VT and Arkansas)
2003 Florida
2004 Auburn, Georgia, Iowa

Saban only had 1 season in Baton Rouge with less than 3 losses.

As far as impacting the program these two are the worst:

1. 2011 Bama
2. 2006 Auburn

2011 Bama for obvious reasons

In 2006, had LSU beat Auburn. LSU would have made the SECCG 3 times in a row, and very possibly winning 2 SEC Titles and 2 National Championships back to back.

3. 2005 Tennessee

This one hurt bad, LSU could have been undefeated going into the 2005 SECCG.

4. 2007 Arkansas

LSU losing with the NC game on the line was frustrating. This loss would be 1 or 2 if WV didn't lose the following week.

5. 2009 Ole Miss - Pitiful

1. Arkansas 2007
2. Ole Miss 2009
3. Alabama 2012
4. Tennessee 2005
5. Arkansas 2008

Considering that MIles has coached almost 100 games at LSU, that's a short list

which is a good thing

most def not a miles vs. saban thread

don't be frickheads.

shite if we can rebound after Tennessee and Ole Miss we'll be perfectly fine next year. When September rolls around and we're blowing bitches out, all will be forgiven.
