Sure. Look at what he did at Okie St. He had a better record there than JIMMY JOHNSON. And he built a foundation that Gundy was able to build on. People act like LSU was his first job and he wasn't spectacularly successful before he got here. And, in way, he was the Saban of OSU and Gundy is the Miles. Miles has been cast in both roles. And succeeded at both.

I would like some evidence that Miles landed a top recruiting class and had a ten win season while at osu. Please show me this data sir.

He was there 4 seasons. Why is it necessary for him to have a 10 win season or a top recruiting class in Stillwater to prove Baloo's point?

He took over a team with 3 consecutive losing seasons and turned them into a 9 win team and contenders in the division. It's not farfetched to think if he stayed there longer he would have had 10 win seasons and top recruiting classes.

He didn't win 10 games. He won 9. He also had three straight winning seasons at a program that had one winning season in the previous 11 years, prior to his hire. His 28-21 record at OSU gave him a win percentage of 571, the highest win percentage for any coach at OSU who had been there 2 seasons or more since World War II (Gundy has since surpassed it).

If you can't see that as an incredibly successful run at a school that traditionally has zero onfield success, then that says more about you than the quality of the evidence.
