That's the irony.

No LSU coach has been more successful in terms of sustained multi-year winning percentage and bowl wins than Miles.

But our fans grade our coaches based on our program's potential to be "super elite" rather than the historical performance of our program. Our fans act like 2002-2007 is the norm for LSU and the new status quo for the next 100 years. Whereas people like me who remember the 80s and 90s are quite happy with 8, 9 or 10 wins and a damn strong football team that never quits and could beat any team on our schedule and often do.

But LSU fans will never appreciate what they currently have until we hit rock bottom again. Not unlike people who bought houses at ridiculous prices because they just assumed prices wouldn't ever fall... just human nature, I guess.

And if Miles is smart, he'll recognize his stock at LSU peaked in 2007 and he'll never match it. Dude needs to cash out and move on.
