re: With a 5-3 record in Bowl Games at LSU, Do you consider Les a good bowl coach?

I know I'm in the VAST minority on this one, but I don't judge Les Miles (or any college coach for that matter) based on their bowl game performances (other than the BCSNCG). For me, all bowl games other than the BSCNCG are essentially glorified exhibition games played at the end of the season. Win or lose the result is still the same, you're not the National Champion, nor or you any closer to being the National Champion for that season. It's not like Clemson advanced to any sort of "next round" by winning the Peach Bowl. Conversely, it's not like LSU lost out on any chance to advance to a next round by losing the game.

I judge Les on his solely on his regular season/SECCG and BCSNCG performances. While I always want to see LSU win any game, his record in non-BCSNCG's doesn't sway my opinion of him one way or the other.
