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.

Which Saban-coached teams have lost to on more than one occasion.

The 2007 SECCG
Really? With our starting QB out, the coach gets no credit for this?

Auburn 2008? Georgia 2009?
Who coached the kids to play in these games again?

Then who gets the credit? Did the players just show up on Saturdays and just make shite up as they went along and won?
Your post is pathetic.

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.

I see little reason for optimism, because Jefferson will more than likely start next year.
man, that's incredible. you must be a real hoot to be around. LSU is close, very close to having a team that wins it all again. the team really matured by seasons end and there is every reason for optimism because of the new QB, JJ's improvement and the "new" offense.

He fudged that one up bad. And many Tiger fans obviously have not let him live it down. Espescially since he has proven to be mostly inept at time management. Just like people keep bashing Saban for losing to UAB forgetting that he was still rebuilding from a 3-8 year.

I guess some people can't enjoy anything.
Its really funny how you and your ilk still have your panties in a bunch because of a loss over 5 years ago.
Get over it, we won the SECW that year, a NC two years later, and are in great position to make another run next year.
But, hey lets just focus on the bad stuff.

No argument. Just wondered how many losses people thought were due to coaching. I think being out coached in only 5 of 17 over 6 years is pretty good.
So losing 26% of the time because you are incompetent on gameday is OK with you? I really don't get this. If you include responsabilities such as recruitment, player development, and staff management, this number would be much higher.

So how does that work for Meyer or Saban etc? Do they not lose the same way? This is a dumb topic

I couldn't care less about the records of Saban or Meyer, and yes this is a retarded topic. For people who spent the entire season defending Les as though he were a blood relative, some on here are begging for continued criticism. I may not think Les is the greatest coach alive, but the people that continue to bring up the arguments of whether he is a good coach or not are always the supposed POSITIGERS. Since Les made a commitment to LSU that looks to be about as long term as he can make, the only threads questioning his abilities have been started by the people who "believe" he's the second coming of Lombardi.
