9 Bill Arnsparger 26 8 2 .750
10 Russ Cohen 23 13 1 .635

Les needs 21 wins to be #2 all time at LSU.... that's possible in less than 2 years at his current pace...

What ya think?

I can see as many as 1 NEXT year... but don't EXPECT 14-0.

2012 should be another year where LSU is very strong... 10+ is not unreasonable IMHO.

What if he wins 10 games a year and never wins another SEC Title? What's his legacy?

Hell, until he wins another MNC, it could be eating grass, wearing his hat funny and saying things like, The Want.

Miles is already #1, in percentage of wins.

His legacy will be to be the ONLY coach in LSU history with more than one national championship.

I'm saying he retires at the end of 2018 with a record of 150-34 (.815). He wins 3 SEC West titles, 2 SEC titles and one more MNC.

And Maximus, Josh336 and others will hate him the whole time.

Les will have the best winning percentage of any LSU coach, he will be known as a quirkie guy, however he will also be known for how he handled a potential meltdown after Katrina, dealt with adversity both on and off the field with class and dignity. A tremendous recruiter who had the highest rated recruitment ratings over a sustained period of time, higher than any other LSU coach. He will be known as a players coach, because they loved him as a coach and person. He loved LSU, Louisiana and his players. He viewed LSU as a destination not a steping stone.

Lots of people on this site expect an NCS every year, that is never gonna happen and if you are one of those people you are in for a rude awakening like our Bama friends. Enjoy success, strive for perfection, but recognize achievement.
