Top 10 overrated coaches.....

LINK
This is a link to an article listing the 10 most overrated coaches in the country. 4 of the top 10 are from the SEC, including, guess who.....
These are some of the things they have to say about some other noteable coaches, SEC & beyond. How the HELL does Les Miles fit into this list?
LES MILES Miles has led LSU to a national title, a Southeastern Conference championship, three-straight top-five finishes, and four bowl victories -- two of which were BCS contests.
Throw in 42 victories and three seasons of at least 11 victories and that makes for the best four-year stretch of football in school history.
Miles' record with the Tigers is an astonishing 42-11. In addition to his 42 wins, some other notable accomplishments during his first four years with the Tigers include: he's the only coach in LSU history to beat Auburn, Florida and Alabama in same season -- and he's done it twice; he's the only first-year coach in SEC history to lead team to league's title game; Miles has nine wins over coaches who have won national titles; he's the only coach in LSU history to lead Tigers to three-straight top-five final rankings; and he has a perfect 4-0 record in bowl games, which includes wins in the 2008 BCS National Championship Game and the 2007 Allstate Sugar Bowl.
I guess we should be happy, let the media continue to paint this distorted picture of Coach Miles, as long as he keeps winning, I'll cherish my DAMN STRONG Top 10 overrated coach. Just think what he could accomplish if he wasn't overrated!!!!

Steve Spurrier, South Carolina–Clearly, Spurrier is past his prime. His offense hasn’t worked well in almost a decade and the South Carolina program is stuck in neutral.
quote:
Jim Tressel, Ohio State–Sure, he is successful to a point, but he gets a ton of talent every year and lately has found a way to get pummeled in the big games.
quote:
Lane Kiffin, Tennessee–Okay, he hasn’t coached game yet. But the fact that he got hired is confounding and clearly the result of some unfounded hype proferred on his behalf.
quote:
Mark Richt, Georgia–Nice man. Program is very good. But will he ever win big when he’s supposed to (like 2008)?

I think you have to be highly rated to be considered "overrated." So how in the hell is Miles "overrated" when he is rarely on the top 10 of any coaching lists?

3. Les Miles, LSU–He recruits well and has a ton of talent at his disposal, but generally makes some baffling decisions as a game coach and with regards to personnel. His teams seem to be woefully unprepared at times.
At least quote the part about Miles if your post is about him.

This was my question. People are always douching on him with no substantial evidence that he's overrated or not in the top ten.
They always say he makes poor in game decisions, but those in game decisions won us a NC two years ago. WTF is wrong with these reporters? Do they all meet together and decide what bandwagons they should jump on?
Anyone who writes an article calling Miles overrated is automatically dismissed as a credible reporter because the "professional journalistic" consensus is that he's not in the top 10 best.
This makes no sense; make up your mind "reporters."

I consider Miles a top 10 coach. Certainly not an overrated coach.

Pretty much sums it up. :fearthehat:

I would take these same ten coaches and call them the best ten coaches. This is insane.

An ignorant statement from a website that looks poorly put together. Perhaps he made it in his Web Design class in high school. I believe there maybe at least 6 national championships in those 10 coaches he listed. Anyone who thinks Spurrier doesnt have it anymore clearly does not understand SC, and doesnt understand that no one will be about to reel off 6 SEC championships like he did at UF.
He puts Jim Tressel and Les Miles up there instead of Charlie Weis? This list has little to no credibility.

Les is the most disrespected coach in America. He never makes top 10 lists when he should, people like Rich Brooks are rated ahead of him, and now he gets called overrated. People are just stupid.

this atricle is rediculous to include miles and proves that not everyone should be a writer or give sports opinions.

That link is just proof again, any dumb arse with a computer and internet connection can post to the inter net.

how is "BIG GAME" Bob Stoops not on this list. OU can when the Big 12 every year, but they get their asses handed to them in BCS games for doing it.

Where is Pete Carrol? A team that is year in/year out is generally described as the most talented in CFB (and usually generates some "best of all time" discussion at least once during the year), a very weak conference, only one NC, generally one loss a year to a huge underdog...
If anything, Miles is under-rated.
