Les Miles Winning Percentage at LSU
Posted on 12/12/13 at 2:08 am

Some wins/numbers to look forward to:
1. If Miles wins the Outback Bowl and the first game of the 2014 season, he is back at 80% win percentage at LSU.
2. If Les wins the Outback Bowl and then goes 13-0 next season, he will break into the elite List of college football coaches with a .750 winning percentage. Not even Nick Saban has a 0.75 career win percentage as head coach.
Everyone thinks the grass is always greener on the other side. Many LSU fans don't realize what a good run we have had with Miles and probably won't until he is long gone. Seriously, Miles has been among the Top 3-5 coaches in the country during his time at LSU. If not for having to play a Saban coached Bama team every year, we'd have one or two more SEC championships, maybe even a Natty. Even without those, Miles' tenure has been nothing short of fabulous. I can think of at least 100-110 other programs in the country that would love to have been in our position the past 8 1/2 years or so.

AMEN!

Those who want to fire Les are the same idiots who day trade with their retirement portfolio.
And I agree with the grass is greener on other side analogy. You don't appreciate what you have until it's gone.

I agree, Miles is a very good coach. I just feel like people are frustrated because LSU has the talent and coaches yet we always have 2-3 games per year that should be for sure wins that end up being nail biters. Just frustrating because we have the talent but sometime we don't get the results we would like the see yet knowing what we are really capable of. Overall, Miles wins and that's all that it comes down to

I have awful news for some who claim to be LSU fans: as long as Les Miles is at LSU, these threads won't stop, and Les will continue to provide evidence to back them up.

Haha
Nothing more mature than calling someone a douche on a message board cause they don't agree with you.
I don't care what other coaches do. I didn't know it was about them. My point is if you want an accurate idea of how good the team is take the rent a wins out. This year 6-3. In nfl terms a wild card team.
I don't know how long y'all have been watching football or how young you are but if you can't tell that teams are their coaches-ok whatever
Can't wait for next season. I see a awesome 8-4

So Nick Saban wins bowl game and 1st game next year and he's at he's basically at .750 overall.
Miles wins the next 16 games, bowl game, 12 reg season, sec champ, and the new playoff (2 games) and he's a little over .750 overall!
Great comparison you brought up!

Coach Miles and Coach Spurrier started at a new SEC school in 2005. Miles has won 11 more SEC games than Steve during that span.
Furthermore, Miles has a 72.2 % winning percent in SEC competition. Mark Richt of Georgia has a 69.2 % winning percentage in SEC play.
Miles is a very good coach amongst the top coaching dogs in the mighty SEC.
Only Nick Saban is the outlier.

While I've been critical of Coach Mile's end game management, I whole heartedly agree. The problem is that unless you get a Saban or Meyer-type coach as a replacement, you NEVER know what you are going to get. It's not even remotely close to easy what Les Miles has done keeping us at THIS level...in the SEC. I know I don't want to have to roll the dice! I was at LSU during the Archer/Hallman years...I DON'T want to ever go back to that!

There's no denying Miles' efficacy as a head coach. It doesn't hurt that he's had one of the most brilliant defensive minds in college football at his side for years. It also doesn't hurt that he now has a NFL caliber OC.
The thing that bugs me with Les is not that he's goofy, it's that he fails to instill any discipline in his teams. Playing loose works. Being a players' coach clearly works. But lacking discipline has cost us dearly in close games. That's really the only thing I can complain about.
Every other weakness he's had he's addressed: Can't coach up a QB or call plays on offense? Hire Krags. Krags gets sick? Hire Cam. Need a new DC? Hire Chavis. He is very good about addressing things in the off season, and, while loyal, he is not always loyal to a fault. Many people will look at the JJ and JL situation and call bullshite. They may even say Mett should have been playing. But let's face it, Mett wasn't really ready for primetime til this year and Miles' decision to play JJ or JL is at least justifiable.
In all, Miles is one of the greatest living coaches. He has had sustained success and, indeed, excellence, at a program that just a little over a decade ago wasn't really much to sniff at, all while playing the cream of the crop and coaching against the man who is widely considered the best living coach and, perhaps, the greatest of all time.
It really appears to be only a matter of time before we put together a team like the Alabama team of 2011 or the USC team of 2004 where we can dominate a team on both sides of the football with relative ease.

The 2011 regular season was proof enough for me that Les is a top 3 coach in the county. LSU beat Bama (at their house), the Rose Bowl champ, the Orange bowl champ, and the regular SEC slate to go undefeated. Please let me know if you find a team/coach with that kind of success with that schedule. I'll hang up and listen. Les is the best thing to happen to LSU. Period.

What good is a high winning pct. if you only keep making peach, outback or cotton bowl?

I agree with your post

Totally unacceptable.

1. If he loses the Outback Bowl, he is 1-4 in his last five bowl games. 
Posted on 12/12/13 at 2:35 pm to saintforlife1
So Urban Meyer will be the best since he will be able to get 11+ wins every year. He is already towards the top.

From an "oldtimer" who went thru Cholly Mac, Bill A (last best Coach) "kick off" Hallman (he won the toss and decided to ...) and Dinardo/Saban who I am glad came to LSU...

Neither of those two scenarios is likely, though.
