re: So.... How many NCs did Les leave on the table?

So... While debatable, I think even Rantards are accurate when they say Miles left 4 NCs on the table, but don't understand why this has to be an indictment against the man

Really? Your title seems to squarely place the blame on Miles.

Left 4 on the table? Wow! No coach has left 4 on the table in 8 years unless it is your fantasy team on EA Sports, Play Statin, 360, etc.

2008 - losses in defensive starters and Pelini, as well as the recruiting effects from the 2005 Miles/Saban transition caught up to the team. Nobody should have expected us to repeat this year, however

You left out we dismissed our starting quarterback right before the season started and were thus thrown into the Hatch/Lee/Jefferson situation.

2012 - We let Florida get away with one this year and played a hell of a game against Bama that really could have gone either way. Had Beckham not fumbled the long pass in the 4th or had the defense stood up at the end of Bama, we probably destroy ND.

We dismissed possibly our most electric player and game changer right before the season began.

So, I would say LSU, not miles, left one on the table in 2011 and that one should never have happened.
