Tennessee in '05(Though the two hurricanes get partial credit)
Auburn '06(Should have passed the ball more)
Kentucky '07 (Not Arkansas. That was due to 6 or injured players on defense)
Alabama, Arkansas '08(Run the damn ball more coach)
Ole Miss in '09 (obvious)
Penn State Jan. '10(Should have revised the game plane for the sloppy field)
Arkansas in '10 (Defensive schemes sucked as well as Hatcher should have been benched after his first bad play)
Eight questionable games in my book which is probably way below average for most SEC coaches during that span. Right, UGA fans? And I'd say about 25 victories boiled down to superior coaching and schemes, the rest to superior talent. All in all Les has done a great job in my book. This is the SEC after all. Those teams playing in the ACC or Big Least would probably have been around 72-7.

these, the Arkansas for sure, were due to our QB having horrible games.

I fail to see how anyone puts this one on coaching.....I can't wait to hear specifics?

How many of Les' 17 losses were due to coaching?
How many of his 61 wins were despite coaching? Probably the same percentage. Really, do you think Mississipi State was outcoached the last 2 years (Hell, only Gerry's kids lost to MSU in the last 15 years...and Dinardo only lost once)...so there's 6 guarenteed wins--we won't talk about the 20 something rent-a-wins/directional schools LSU has played since Miles arrived on campus)? Or that the strategy and gamesmanship behind the Troy and Tulane games are on the shoulders of Miles? The 2007 SECCG? Auburn 2008? Georgia 2009? I'm happy with the 60+ wins, just not blind enough to give Miles' coaching prowess the glory for all of those victories.

Tennessee in 05 was simply a case of LSU's players not being able to execute in the second half. It seemed as if every defensive player for LSU had to go to the locker room for an IV during the second half of the game. Tennessee didn't make radical changes in the second half that LSU failed to adjust for. The players just weren't in condition for a game in September heat and humidity following the interruptions to practice caused by Katrina and Rita.

People need to getovwer this one.
Of all the losses in Miles' tenure (a whopping 17) this is easily the most forgivable.
How soon people forget this was in the immediate aftermath of Katrina and Rita and the team was complestely gassed. Given the situation it is not surprising they wore down at the end and couldn't hold the lead.
Tha fact that we did not lose again until the SECCG, I think, shows that 2005 was probaly one of Miles' best years coaching.
