Miles has averaged 2-3 losses per season in his time as the HC at LSU. 2.4 to be exact.

Do you feel that 2-3 losses a season will be enough to put LSu incontention, or "in the hunt" for the SECw title and a trip to ATlanta in the coming years?


Looking at the SECw champions over the same time period, the average losses per year is 0.6, with a deviation of 0.7.

This gives us a range of 0.17 to 1.03 losses per year in the SEC for a 95% CI.

This means that Miles falls outside what is expected to compete for championships on average, as he will average more losses per year than necessary.

It will take an extraordinary year to outdo his effort 95% of the time going forward.

Considering average means we will do better some years, yes Miles is more than capable of winning the West still.

Yes, Beat Bama and not shite the bed against Arky and LSU just needs a not that unthinkable upset to get a share of the West Division and possibly make the trip to Atlanta

Oh, and fun fact, Saban is currently right at 2.0 losses per year.

So yea, averaging 2.4 is plenty capable.

I hate to be this guy but what are the numbers like from 08, lets say 09 to now? Whether you like it or not it wasn't 100% les' program until 08/09. Plus dating back to 05 is a long way when football is such a what have you done for me lately game.

This is why LSU fans should be the biggest proponents of an 8 or more team playoff. If not we will rarely if ever have a chance for a title
