Top 20 coach with top 10 talent at a historical top 15 program.

He's a good fit.

Top 20 if we're talking pure coaching, maybe even a bit lower. Now, before you lose your mind shooting at me.........

Alas, in college, you simply cannot ignore recruiting(Ask Charlie Weiss), so, a good bit higher. Probably top 10.

Top 10 coaching
#1 for integrity

He, Chavis and Krag will create the new era of honor. It's no only about winning at football. It's about winning at life.

The record speaks for itself.


The following have all beaten Miles with drastically less talented teams:

Nutt
Petrino
Nutt
Brooks
Fulmer

Dan Mullen nearly got him, D Dooley nearly got him, Butch Davis nearly got him with half his D on suspension

Regardless of scores, outcomes, wins and losses my biggest knock on Miles is that his LSU teams have had a distinct tendency to allow a problem to fester to the point where it costs the team rather than recognizing a glaring problem and addressing it before it hurts the team.
