Right. So since you think both are dumb this is a valid comparison. And your implication is that we're headed for Zook-like years. Except the guy is 50-13 and the team is 8-2.
Don't forget LSU is 7-7 over the last 14 SEC games with a great chance of going below the .500 mark this weekend. If you like that trend then more power to you.

Well no shite because they sucked so bad last year. I mean you can't honestly lump in two close losses to the top two teams as part of a horrible trend.
You are basically using last year record as a trend when we are 4-2 this year.
*Also I am not saying athletes are the best students at their college; however, Miles went to Michigan which is a far better school than most.

LSU is 4-2 in the SEC this year. So much for your trend.
Look, 2008 was a bad year. It started bad when Pelini left and Miles made a mistake in promoting from within. Then Perrilloux. Then Pick Six. Bad defense and mistake prone offense lead to a bad year. And a bad year still was 8-5 with a blowout bowl win. Of the 7 losses you cite, only one was an unmitigated disaster. Our 31-30 loss to the Hogs in Arkansas last year. The Ole Miss loss was disappointing but it was Jefferson's first SEC game. The other 5 losses all came against teams who won 10+ games. This isn't an excuse but it should give you some perspective. We lost to really good football teams in a year in which we were down. And this year, we lost to in my view the best two teams in the country and were in a great position to win one of them.
We have a cupboard full of sick talent and an experienced QB coming back for the first time in 4 years. The fanbase needs to relax and have a little patience. The next two seasons should be awesome.

The statement above may be OK coming from Ole Miss faithful. 'Great chance' implies positive connotation. Nothing in your statement implies anything positive.
You fear, you suspect, worse you expect an LSU loss to Ole Miss.
What if (when) LSU wins? Does that automatically elevate Les Miles as a better coach?
