re: Random thoughts on Les Miles and the demise of G. Chizik

While those who don't think CLM is a good coach say that he only wins because of his assistant coaches and the abundance of in-state talent that LSU gets. and that any average coach could do what CLM does with his staff and resources.

1)they want saban

2)Tenn., AU, USC, Texas, Michigan, Notre Dame (for the exception of this year) miami, florida st., are all proof that an average coach with resources can't make their programs top 10/elite.

If you had to rate the top 10 programs since 2000
it would have to go something like this.

1)lsu (played for three and won two)
2)Florida (played for two and won two)
3)bama (played for two and won two)
4)ohio st. (won one, played for two others)
5)oklahoma (won one, played for 4)
6)texas (played for two n.c. won one)
7)Auburn (tommys undefeated year and chix n.c.)
8)USC (won one n.c.)
9)Oregon (played for one, been top 10 most years)
10)boise state (been top 10 most years)

now look at the coaching changes. zook took over from stev s. wasn't able to maintain it. urban got it back, muschamp is still a mystery)

saban to miles. lsu hasn't missed a beat

shula to saban. improvement

tressel to urban still a mystery

au tubbs to chiz, looks to be bad

carol to kiffen, not quite as good.

boise- hawkins to peterson improvement
