re: all the critics on miles

why did he start to decline once sabans players left?

Rather than reinforce my argument that once Miles took over in 2005, every player on the roster became his player, I'll humor your argument and point out that lack of leadership at the QB position and lack of organization on the defense led to the decline in 2008 due to unexpected personnel losses.

Saban had 3 11 game regular seasons , miles only had 1, add 2 more rent a wins for saban, 50-16 & take away miles 3 rent a wins 48-15

First, you're not the NCAA. You can't add and subtract wins on a whim to make a point. Even if you were, the method would be to either add wins to one coach OR subtract from the other, not both. Just for fun, why don't we compare winning percentages, something not influenced by the number of games coached...

Miles: .772
Saban: .750

any of these games lsu wins, will be a struggle like always

Like always...? So... for 114 years.. and in that time, there has not been one game that we have soundly beaten an opponent? Or did you mean always under Miles? You might want to look over his track record again...

Let's see what happens this year. Bottom is that we have not dominated jack the last 2 years.
Miles lays a dump - he is out of here. The discussion is over.
Miles gets 9 wins with our schedule - he gets another year.
Miles gets double digit wins - he gets a contract roll over for another year.
What will be the toss up is an 8 - 4 regular season. The bowl results may make the difference in that scenario. Losses for 3 straight years to OM, AL and FL might get have him an early retirement on the Skip Powerball annunity plan.
Bottom line is that he needs to win. And they all could be "ugly" wins. Just win.
Whatever direction it takes - it is a win/win for Miles but not necessarily LSU.
