However, your statement puzzles me.

Why? LSU only had two seasons of less than 3 losses in the previous fifteen years when Miles took over. Miami was a juggernaut that had won 4 national titles in the previous 17 seasons when Coker took over and was widely known as the premier school for NFL talent in the country.

He also inherited a team that had gone 11-1 the year before and should have been in the national title game and was ranked #2 to end the year.

LSU had only had one really good year where they put it all together, and still didn't even go undefeated, and was coming off of a 3 loss season.

And Coker also wasn't coaching in the SEC, a much tougher conference than either the ACC or Big East.

There simply isn't a comparison. There is no question that Miles has continued to build LSU's program up to higher a level than it was when he arrived.
