Just playing devil's advocate using Texas and LSU but didn't LSU go through a similar run as Texas a couple of years back (08/09) while Texas was playing in the national title game? Was Mack Brown a better coach than Les Miles then?

quote:Possibly. LSU did not have talent at the QB position, but the team as a whole was not coached well enough to be elite, and it showed on the field. It was during this time that Miles made some of his bonehead decisions that rendered him his current stereotype. His teams could have been better coached and better prepared during those two seasons...

I think Miles has greatly improved his Xs and Os, and I also think he has put together a better coaching staff than he had in 2008 (Peveto/Mallory vs. Peveto)... and then another drastic improvement by replacing Crowton with Kragthorpe last season.
However, Texas (at least according to the recruiting rankings) had a higher composite recruiting ranking than LSU during the 5-year window from '04-'08.
