Not sure many LSU fans feel that way about miles


It's the national perception. I think LSU fans' opinion of his coaching skills are out of whack with the rest of the nation's opinion, but even LSU fans who love him know he's a strange dude.

Mark Richt = John Beilein



I think Beilein is one of the best in the business and they made an incredible run in 2013. Definitely not his fault for the issues this year with UM (loads of injuries/NBA departures).

Saban: izzo or K
Malzahn: Sean Miller or Marshall.

Not sure where to put Bo Ryan, that man can get pretty fricking intense like Saban

I've added two more:

Dabo Swinney: His team and school are synonymous with the most unlikely losses and chokes in recent history

Brady Hoke: They hired THAT guy to run THAT program when they could have had anybody they wanted?

My Hoke is Steve Alford

Swinney is hard but I'll go with Hoiberg

Yep, both won a title thanks to the previous coach's players.

It's more of the have a championship and have had success but many people don't take the coach seriously.

It is hard to find a coach with Miles success that is as wildly unpopular as Les.

Who is questionable? If you say Cousins, that is a reach.

so much false...Jones teams have no OFFENSE. Their D is just fine.

just because he's the only black coach that comes to mind doesn't mean they are similar...and Jones' teams are not exciting.

No way. Saban is more of a Pitino or Coach Cal.

Dude, don't bring race into this discussion. I was considering putting Art Briles in there instead of Sumlin.

And how many times this year did LSU and aTm look unstoppable in the first half but blow it in the end?
