re: Miles Losing Record in 5 Years

I noticed you didn't break down our win/losses in the SEC since 2008. very convenient. I imagine you can take Coker's record at The U and make similar talking points.

The Coker reference has become silly IMO. Miles is much more similar to Mack Brown than he is to Coker. Fortunately for Mack Brown, however, is the Big12 is much more easy to navigate than the SEC on a long-term basis.

Is Miles a great coach? Probably not, and that's where the fears are with most LSU fans at the moment, and that is exacerbated by the fact that one of our main division rivals does indeed have a great coach, not to mention our permanent Eastern opponent also has one of the best in the business at the moment.

The program will never "crumble" under Miles. He recruits too well and is too good of a "program manager." That said, a consistent 8-4/9-3 is not going to cut it with most of us, and therin lies the fears for most of us. Anyone expecting LSU to collapse is in for a disappointment, because it's simply not going to happen under Miles' leadership the next few years. Hell, the last two years have arguably been the worst two seasons of the decade for LSU, yet we still rank 3rd in the SEC in wins in that timespan.

All that said, I still think LSU has the potential to win an SEC title this year or next year, and if that happens, the Miles critics will be silenced forever.
