He brought us through the hardest schedule LSU has seen in the last seven years and he did it with a one demensional offense.



This is ignored by most....but this could have been the best coaching he's done since being at LSU.

If we had somehow beaten bama two times in the same season and gone undefeated......Miles would easily gotten the props he deserves.

He didn't beat them twice (I suggest no team could have done that) so he was ridiculed by some.

LSU is in great hands.


We, LSU, are the ONLY team to compete yr after yr against bama....truely the envy of other SEC schools.

Whoa, now. This thread is about whether Miles qualifies (or will in the future qualify) as one of the greatest coaches of all time, not just whether "LSU is in great hands." What Miles was ridiculed for was how unprepared the team was in the NC game and how he made no adjustments to turn things around in the game. I think the vast majority of Tiger fans appreciate that Miles has done a great job and that he he has accomplished a TON at LSU. Strangely, though, he has also committed some of the most glaring coaching missteps that have ever been witnessed. You can appreciate Miles' tremendous success while also understanding that you have to take those mistakes into account when comparing Miles to all-time greats.
