How does Miles rank, among the top active coaches in America?

TOP ACTIVE COLLEGE FOOTBALL COACHES IN AMERICA
(in current position, with minimum 5-yr record at major-conference school)
Rank, Coach, School, Tenure, Record, Win %, Miles vs.
1 Nick Saban, Alabama, 5+ yrs, 61-12, 83.5%, 3-3
2 Les Miles, LSU, 7+ yrs, 81-19, 81%
3 Bob Stoops, Oklahoma, 13+ yrs, 143-35, 80%
4 Mack Brown, Texas, 15+ yrs, 142-41, 78%
5 Bret Bielema, Wisconsin, 6+ yrs, 65-21, 76%
6 Marc Richt, Georgia, 11+ yrs, 111-39, 74%, 2-2
7 Frank Beamer, VA Tech, 25+ yrs, 213-101-2, 67%, 1-0
8 Bill Snyder, Kansas St, 20+ yrs, 166-82-1, 66.5%
9 Mike Gundy, Okla. St, 7+ yrs, 62-32, 66%
10 Mark D'Antonio, Mich. St, 5+ yrs, 48-25, 66%
11 Steve Spurrier, S. Carolina, 7+ yrs, 62-36, 64%, 3-0
And, although he is now in his first year at Ohio State, Urban Meyer is still active and would be in a statistical tie with Les Miles, based upon his 6 years at Florida.
2a* Urban Meyer, at Florida, 6 yrs, 65-15, 81%, 3-3
It is also very interesting to note that:
Even with the loss at Florida this year, had LSU beat Alabama in the BCS title game, Les Miles and Nick Saban would be statistically tied at the top, with winning percentages of 82%, and Miles would have a 4-2 record against Saban.
That's just how close Les Miles is to being at the very top of active, major-conference coaches in America, in his current 7+ yr tenure at LSU.
Just a little perspective for Tiger Fans....

Yeah we need perspective every waking fricking moment. I give the credit for LSU's wins to the players, the assistants, the money the athletic program allows to be paid towards our assistants, the fan base and Les Miles. Stop acting like Les miles is solely responsible for every win LSU has ever had during his time at LSU.

Probably top 50.

If you stop acting like he's responsible for every loss.

But Miles haters want to hang every single loss around Mile's head. I saw something the other day...
Haters are those who whisper your successes and broadcast your failures.
Seems to fit pretty well.

He's really giving the Charlie Weises out there a run for their money.

There's that damn Nick Saban again.

After wins, top 5
After losses, top 50
After losses, top 50

it's a comparative ranking against other head coaches who win because of players, money, leadership, assistants, fan bases, etc.

Did I say somewhere he is solely responsible for every loss? I think he is 90% the problem for our offensive woes, culminating 5 years of poor coaching decisions. Don't put words in my mouth that I never spoke.

Do you also spread out the success of the other coaches like this?
Which coach is solely responsible for his team's success?
Which of them does it alone?

Compare the overall salary of the coaching staffs combined at each school, then come back and tell me where LSU sits.

I would love to have offensive woes like last night, where the team gains only about 400 yards of total offense against a top 10 nationally defense.

If it so easy to win at LSU why haven't more coaches had the same success as Miles?

quote:Yes, because then he'd also be solely responsible for every single loss at LSU, every bonehead call, every clock mismanagement act, every poorly developed skill player, etc. And then that would just fuel a serious but honest critical discussion of pros and cons of this HC. And that would put many on the Rant at a serious disadvantage. So who would want something like that to happen?
